I dug out an area for the new compost pile and then with the bricks that I tore up I have begun to build a wall to house the new pile. I want to make it at least 2 or 3 times the height it is now. the only problem with that is that I have to make sure that the walls are sturdy enough to hold the compost once the pile starts to grow. I am going to experiment with some different ideas in terms of construction to see what is the best.
Hey Ben, I was just looking over your blogs and it looks like you are really up to a lot! I love the fact that you're project resulted in a kind of side project by building a compost pile. I think that to further your gardening and composting skills, you should read some different instructions on the DIY Network, a site that focuses on doing activities in creative and fun ways on your own. I found a great article on how to build your own Compost bins out of different materials, and they are very thorough. Hope you enjoy!
