(This post is my response to Amber Oswalt’s recent comment:

Hey! I want to start a compost pile! How can I do that?)

Our compost bin

This is our backyard compost bin.

Kirby(my roommate)  used wooden pallets and chicken wire to make it.  We put in leaves, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea bags, any table scraps (except meat) and the pumpkin I carved for Halloween.

It is really gross inside the compost bin.

We usually keep a bowl in the kitchen and empty it into the compost bin daily.  Oh and my friend Danielle added worms to our bin, which maybe is the most important part.  If you want to know more about composting, check out her post Adventures in Vermicomposting.  I hope this helps!
