One year I made the most amazing compost that was so good at growing my veggie garden I would have sworn it could bring back the dead! I was very proud of my compost heap!

I never use any fertilizers and have very nice plants. What about worms in a compost bin? They are an important part of the breakdown as well.

Drill a bunch of holes in it on the sides top and bottom, then set it on a couple of bricks in the back yard. You can fill it with your compost and then just roll it around the yard to turn it.
