The temperature hit 50 degrees this weekend, which was just warm enough to allow the first project of the year to be completed. The back of my property is a south facing hill, which gets all day sun and has always been the spot where I kept my compost pile. I have never had any type of formal composting system, usually just 1 or 2 open piles, but I finally built something! A 3 bin system made out of galvanized wire fencing and metal posts that I bought at the local home depot. I was a little surprised at the cost ($95), but it wasn’t too bad. Right now I didn’t put anything in the front of each bin, but may add something later…
Just fyi - I also tried the pull the X-MAS decorations out of the front yard, but the ground was still frozen so they will have to stay there for now.

A fellow SouthCoast-er, how fun! Is that Padanaram in your photo? :)
We just pulled the last of the Xmas stuff out of yard this week, it was buried there for a while!
That just looks too effing cold out there.

My profile picture is from Plymouth, down by the rock. Hopefully things will thaw out soon so I can put Santa & Frosty away for the season
