End of February which means I am now going to start the composting process. I did find out that compost was against my homeowner association rules but they haven't noticed the broken gutter over my patio that turns my deck into a skating rink so I doubt they will notice the compost pile.
I went to Jarod's, in a nearby town to get chicken wire and ask a few tips from the people there.
The chicken wire was inexpensive, particularly because I will be working on a smaller pile. I also had to pick up a pitchfork to use to turn the pile over to keep it mixed. They told me to just keep the mixture in the pile 50 percent dry brown and 50 percent damp greens. They were nice enough to give me a bunch of dead grass plants that I could use to help make up what was sure to be a shortage in dry browns.
I set the wire up in the corner of my garden area with some of the dead grass in it, it was now time to clean out my fridge and add all of the veggies and fruits that had gone bad...
