Hello! This is my first ever post!
My partner and I currently live in an apartment with a large back garden (shared) and we've convinced the neighbours to allow us/join us on a veggie garden adventure. Our dream/plan is to eventually find land, build, grow, of course.
For now - I've managed to get a hole of some reclaimed pallets and am going to build a compost bin later this week. I have a few queries:
- I've read that you should sit the bin on a few bricks or something, to increase ventilation - however, have also read that you might want the bin sitting right on soil so that wormies can get in - thoughts?
- I had planned to line the bin with chicken wire - will this work well enough to prevent rodents getting in about? Should I line with something else also? (? something that will allow worms through...?)
- Any suggestions for a simple cover/roof for the bin - ideally something that may be easily reclaimed or repurposed.
Thank you so much in advance, we're very excited to get this going!
Paula
