Spring arrives and we suddenly have more "take-outs" because I cannot drag myself in to prepare dinner. Sometimes, I don't come in until it's too dark to see outside...my husbands just laughs. Your gardens are stunning....love your photos!

The post are made of 2 - 2X6 pieces of wood,

making it a 4X6 posts (each side)

The post are not treated or painted yet, but it is functional

Each post is cemented into the ground.

Every thing used to make this Compost Tumbler

was recycled, or what was at hand!

Good things do not have to cost a lot...
