Now that spring has arrived and people are able to get back in their yards I have been asked about everything from composting to rain barrels to bird feeders. Today I want to talk about a cheap and easy way to create a compost bin out of 5 wooden shipping pallets. If you are interested you can click HERE for a 2 page instruction manual provided by Montgomery County's Department of Environmental Protection. Click Here to learn more about that department.
Not sure where to get wooden shipping pallets? You can buy them for just a few bucks each at Community Forklift. Check out Community Forklift at http://www.CommunityForklift.com.
Rain Garden and Worm Composting Workshop
Sunday, May 17, 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Learn what rain gardens are, how they are maintained, and why we need more. Then, find out about composting indoors with worms! The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection will discuss how to successfully set up and maintain worm bins for turning your food scraps into black gold for your garden. Advance registration is required. More information HERE.
Please feel free to contact me at Michael@RealAstute.com or 202-369-9821 with any questions!

Too bad the seminar is in Montgomery County. We need some good composting info in DC - especially since most of us don't have the yards of those in MC MD.
