I've been thinking of setting up a compost bin in our yard, so we went to the Master Gardeners of Mercer County Educational Garden. There they have a dozen or so types of bins on display. Jack liked exploring, but he missed the worms we had seen at the vermicomposting display a few weeks ago.
I thought the rain barrel was a great idea. We've started sprouting tomatoes to plant in our yard, and using a rain barrel would not only conserve water, but would actually be very convenient for watering the garden.
As far as the compost bin, my favorite was a fancy rubbermaid container made from recycled plastic. I don't even know where to buy one, or how much it would cost. For now, I'll be happy with a loose pile of leaves mixed with grass clippings and coffee grounds.
