I got back in town tonight after a couple of longs days of meetings in Wichita, Kansas just in time for Q & I to go buy our first compost bin.
I have been wanting one for a while now and remember as a kid my dad had one he built in our backyard that I use to throw things in and thought it was so neat that things like banana peels and leftovers would eventually turn into soil.
Our first stop was Lowe's and I was surprised that the 1 model they had was sold out. I thought for sure Lowe's would have some different options. So we then set off to Ace Hardware where there was a tumbler available (which we had already decided was not the type of composter we wanted) and a cheap looking plastic box, that was over priced - to top it all off the guy who worked there was a complete jerk so we left and decided to take a break from our search and went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner, Thomas.
we ordered a couple different things to share including this delicious meat, cheese & fruit platter. It was the first time we ordered this and it was so yummy.
One of the reasons we love Thomas is because of this guy
Vince Cook, a musician who plays just about anything you can imagine on the piano and sings along. Tonight wasn't very busy so he strayed from his regular play book (which is full of music ranging from the Beach Boys to Colbie Caillat to Afroman) and played some popular radio songs, like Miley Cyrus's Party in the USA - which was really funny.When we got back home, full, relaxed & refreshed we did some online research for our compost bin and finally decided on the Compost Creator, which is about 120 gallons
Since we ordered it online we have to wait a week or 2 to actually get composting.I am looking forward to all my home-grown soil to come :)
