This is the corner of our property and right now part of the parking area for guests of my driveway and is covered in spring garden projects. The barrel is a compost barrel. I dump in the law clippings and leaves from last fall. Just spin the barrel and it stirs things up to make easy composting. If you look close, you will see the silver spot that is an axle that the barrel rotate on. The trash bags are full of leaves from last fall. Mostly hidden behind the bush on the right is a trash can, with the bottom cut out. We pile in the leaves from last fall, and the worms crawl up in it and have a feast. We just add in more leaves as needed. Just lift the trash can, and the compost is on the ground full of worms and great soil.
The mound of leaves next to the barrel is a pile of compost. It is the easy and fast one to add to. If we lose an African cichlid from the aquarium in the house we just bury it in there and it just goes away. I have buried one rat snake that must have eaten a poisoned mouse or rat from some other house. We don't use poison. It was real sick and died in my back yard. So off to the compost and away it went. Poof, gone.
