It's hard enough to get my boyfriend on board with maintaining them without having them leak all over the place -____-Erikahttp://www.projectpuravida.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-92108302714433545752012-08-25T16:28:15.900-04:002012-08-25T16:28:15.900-04:00That is exactly my problem Katie.

I honestly have to add water before I try to turn it sometimes.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220004667538143849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-10820556968278195012012-08-25T15:31:31.684-04:002012-08-25T15:31:31.684-04:00As soon as I read the title of the post, I knew I ...As soon as I read the title of the post, I knew I would be able to relate. Yes, composting is rocket science. I once read that you can make compost in 14 days if the conditions are right and you flip it enough. It took me one year to make my first batch of compost. I am really bad about keeping it moist enough and flipping it. When the grass and the leaves pack down, it is hard work to flip it, so I don't do it often. Great information!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666540690729586962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-88649416735125142492012-08-25T02:29:48.316-04:002012-08-25T02:29:48.316-04:00Ugh me too.
