From the Compost Heap header. A pencil style illustration of a compost heap with flowers and plants growing around it. A bee buzzes by and a white rabbit hops by.

Trying out a new smaller compost heap. We still have the big slow heap made of wooden pallets. But I’m hoping this one will decompose a bit faster.

Compost heap with apples, cardboard and a white PVC pipes with holes in it set up vetyically in thr cnterz

It’s a metal crate lined with cardboard and the PVC pipe with holes is for oxygen since I can’t turn the heap due to my back. I do have a tall wooden stake I use to stir it around a bit – which since this is smaller is much easier to do now!
