Try composting

Ok, my wonderful husband came through for me today. He put holes in the can I’m going to use, so now all I have to do is pick a spot in the yard where it’ll sit and start filling it with the proper refuse. I am excited and hope to use this on my first herb garden! :) I even started saving my compostable scraps in a large empty coffee can.

So, being proactive, I tried doing this myself. All I need are some holes drilled into a relatively thin metal garbage can. I have VERY little experience with tools, but I figured I could handle it. I looked all over for the drill, asked my husband where it was, and he had no clue and he was in the middle of playing a game. He said it might be better to hammer some wholes into it with a nail. I tried that, and after lots of hitting, and lots of noise I only made a small dent. :( This should be a quick goal to cross off my list, but it has been a long process. I won’t give up, though.

We got the garbage can- now we just need to drill holes in it. I already have stuff to put in it, too.

now I just need to shop for a bin, and for a collection pail for the house. Both with tight-fitting lids, and probably not too large. I hope to start this weekend! This will also reduce the amount of garbage we have to put out.

First, I need to buy a metal garbage can with a tight lid. Also, I need to find my simple directions that I found somewhere…
