Build a compost Tower

A compost tower will allow you to recycle those grass clippings and yard waste and even kitchen waste. As you fill the tower you can even add manure and red worms from a fishing outlet. This will speed up the process and make the nutrients available faster. The idea of a compost tower is that you add waste to the top and it turns into compost by the bottom. As you water it from the top every week the water picks up the nutrients and carries them out the bottom and into your soil. The plants that you have planted around the tower then get watered with the best compost tea ever. You are also making use of  organic material that would have been wasted. Think of the savings in fertilizer also.

1. Make a cylinder out of wire. It should be around 4' high and 1' in diameter. The

size isn't crucial as yours may be taller or larger around. Either stake it to the

 ground or even better , bury it in the ground.

2. If you are using a large mesh wire then you must line the inside with burlap 

otherwise you are good to go.

3.You can add manure and straw to the bottom to get it going quickly.

4. Make a small mound around the tower to plant your plants. You can plant veggies

or flowers or both if you like. You can also put a tower near a fruit tree also.

5. Water your tower every week. A gallon per week should be right for most sizes.
