What app do you use to format your photos for posting here?

I really like your compost bin. What size is it and is it made from cattle panels with chicken wire?

It is made from hog panels, which have smaller spaces, and the size is whatever 1/2 a hog panel is. He cut two in half, for four pieces to make it. I think it’s 4 foot square-ish? Hog Panels are 8’ long, Cattle Panels are 10’ I think?

Then he wired chicken wire (’poultry netting’ in some parts) on the inside all around and we put down a double layer of cardboard under it and dumped all of the older compost from that black bin (which is useless!) that one of us got for free from the city at one point in time. It is relatively Puppy-Proof so far, and believe me they try to get into EVERYTHING around here!

It has an open top. When it’s full, we’ll open one side and scoop it out. I don’t plan on turning it because I don’t NEED compost quickly, I’m lazy about it, it has good air circulation due to being so ‘open’ and I’m careful with layering greens and browns in the pile.

As for photo format, after you have your URL copied and the HTML in place, you skip ONE space after the end of the URL then type ‘width=300’ (or 400 or 500) and that makes the photos a uniform size. You have to do it for EACH photo though, of course!
