After a bit of contemplation on lazy composting, we have decided on the "food digester" method of composting in the new lot. This is very similar to the "worm tower" that Brad Ward of ECHO talked so highly of at a previous meeting. Brad mentioned that worms increased in a large area around their worm tower, not just inside and close to the tower.
Instead of using one or two large galvanized trash cans, we plan on using smaller ones placed between our fruit trees. We do NOT plan on adding worms as in Brad's version and will allow mother nature to do as she sees fit with our kitchen scraps.
