ElizabethGetting back to Mastodon now that Winter Session is over. I'm starting seeds this week in zone 7a and I want to start composting in earnest this year. Recommendations for backyard composters? #gardening #permaculture #compost
annaraven@cailleach I tried a tumbler once and hated it. I have some stackable ones and they're okay. Honestly my favorite was the one we built out of chicken wire in my backyard back in MN.
@annaraven Can I ask what you didn't like about the tumbler? I'm worried that if it's not physically easy to turn the compost, I'll just never do it.
@cailleach Yeah - I wasn't able to easily turn it. Also - compost needs a certain moisture level to turn to actual compost and getting that right inside a plastic barrel wasn't so easy.
I guess I'm more of the lazy, set it and forget it kind of composter.
