yes, that is a 50 gallon compost barrel. it is on a stand and has gears with a big handle. we've had it for years. it is now empty and i used nowhere need what i needed. i need 3 times more. i didn't add much to it. plant trimmings, apricots, apples and some coffee grounds. i want to start adding things to my soil but i have no idea what. i have a big bag of perlite i'll dump in. maybe some moss? the soil is very rich and everything here grows well. they grow grapes for wine in this same soil. when it dries it is very hard and dense though. it has a lot of clay in it.


alot of the people I know who have non herbal gardens, and have verry succseful gardens add Lime, and sulfer to their soil abot once every 2 or 3 years, I did it once, need to do it again this year, still cold as shit here though. theres other natural additives that should be added to your soil every few year to add back some of the neutrients that are drained from the soil and not placed back since we eat, smoke:blsmoke: and throw away much of what would go back into the earth.

i guess i let it sit for awhile and dry. it's fluffy when i walk on it but it gets hard as soon as my weight is on it. it's still pretty wet. i think i started at the perfect time. :blsmoke:



i'd make a good corn farmer. :mrgreen:........IMG_5442.jpg IMG_5443.jpg IMG_5444.jpg
