Dry leaves that had fallen off the trees for winter were piled into our leaf composting bin. The composting bin was placed outside, so that rain could keep the pile moist.

A closer view of the leaves piled inside the leaf composting bin. Notice a bit of a green weed visible in the center. All organic matter can be added to this composting pile.

An even closer view inside the composting bin. The leaves make a lovely background for perhaps a screen saver.

Bin Moved

The composting bin had moved. It began next to the shed, and because of a path installation, had to be moved forward past the raised vegetable boxes to alongside the fence. The composting bin was constructed from 2x4 cedar lumber and chicken wire.
