Resolution accomplished.

I made one New Year’s resolution for 2009 and that was to start a compost pile in some shape or form. Today I fulfilled that resolution. First I bought a 115-gallon “super composter” made of 90% recycled materials at Lowe’s (#219273, not found on website, $49.97). Then I assembled said super composter — no tools required! — and placed it in our back yard in a spot that gets sun and water. Then I put in watermelon rinds and strawberry stems. Exciting, right? It’s only a matter of time before our “kitchen and yard waste [turns] into useable nutrition for all plants.”

For some reason this costs twice as much elsewhere.
