Re: Compost Tumblers

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Kitt,

I appreciate the information about the green/carbon ratios that you provided, 
as well as those a couple of other people posted. I got to thinking it was 
going to be hard to figure this out, because the leaves I was going to chop 
with the mower were on top of grass that would get mixed in...and the grass I 
was going to cut for the green part had leaves mixed around in it...so, I 
just mowed over the leaves and filled the catcher, dumped it in the tumbler 
and added a handful of compost starter and a couple handfuls of a chicken 
litter/rice hull compost I have from a local grower, then repeated with the 
grass and so on. Wet it down after each layer. I guess I got it at least 
started right, because the compost thermometer is reading 105 degrees in the 
center after only about 9 hours <g>.
