I'm so excited about my new compost bin.

I finally got a compost bin.  I have been wanting one and tried to get one through a city program but that didn't work out.  So I ordered a bin from a place on the internet and I just got it yesterday.  I will put my first contributions in the bin tonight.  I am so excited about reducing my trash and using it in my garden.  This particular bin also creates compost tea for liquid fertilizer, so I feel like I'm getting a two for one.   

Last night I only had the energy to water, set up my compost bin (that took all of 10 minutes) and make a list of things to do this weekend.  I have two small tree stumps that I want to take my ax to.  I also have some weeding to do around two sides of the house.  I hope it rains today so I don't have to water again tonight and that will make the weeding easier to do.  I have to make a mulch run (or two) tomorrow night so I'm ready to work on that on Friday.  The pine straw in the lorepetalum bed on the side of the house is deteriorated and I want to place some pretty cypress mulch there to match the cypress mulch I put in the back yard.
