I truly like your blog template, can you tell me what skin is it? Is that custom design or is it paid one? However I don’t have the funds to get paid design nor got the ability to custom design myself. I’m sorry for this newbie question, thanks.

Make a semi - circle and load it up. It makes it easy to govern the size you need by making the circle bigger or smaller... Higher or lower. I have a sizeable garden & my wife is fanatical about recycling & saving organic stuff for the composter. Both yard waste & kitchen scraps go in. At the end of the season when I put the planting area to sleep from October to February, I transfer my "Black Gold" to the beds & cover them with black plastic. This finishes everything off....weed seeds included. I never thought in 55 years of life that I'd be excited about rotted grass & lettuce in my backyard. Happy Composting & Happy Gardening!!!

We all have small yards around here and they are fenced, so there are very few animals to worry about. If it starts looking unattractive, we just turn it which ends up burying anything that doesn't look like dirt yet. The bonus is that we have a ton of worms now, they just love it (free bait :) ).

Good air circulation is critical to the composting process. Worms are great, but if I wanted worms I use a vermicomposting bin. I am considering one of those as well. I have lots of ants, do those count? :-) Seriously, from everything I've read, having ants is good sign.

Do worms still find there way into the pile? I understand that worms help the composting process. The Lowes design has a floor. Do worms still find there way into the pile?
