A bin is easier for keeping stuff in one place, but it's not necessary. Just a pile will work fine - or you could get a used playpen for a puppy [bigger] or a child [smaller and you have to remove the bottom] to use as a bin. I've also used a circular bin made of a bit of spare chicken wire. You dump everything biodegradable on it [except cat/dog poop] and every so often turn it with a garden fork, or a hay fork, or even a spade. Forks are easier to use, though. Mine is for the most part grass clippings, cut weeds, and leaves, but I also got a little electric wood chipper [much cheaper than than the gas powered ones] for bushy things - too hot to go out and use it now, though. Theoretically, compost heaps should be covered or protected from rain, but IMO it doesn't matter, it just makes stuff bread down a bit faster if it's dry. As soon as I can get some boards for raised beds, I'll just fill those, one at a time.

For those who have them, rabbit droppings can be used directly in the garden, but chicken droppings are too hot - they do have to compost and break down first, or it will burn the plants. Goat, horse, and cow droppings should also break down before being used, but I've used goat sparingly without composting it first. I have a friend in CA who uses just the clippings and trimmings from her yard, and she apparently has scads of flowers. And there was a woman in Anchorage who cleaned offices, and used the contents of her vaccuum cleaner along with bits of rugs to keep down weeds. I saw pix of her gardens, and they were incredible!

And whatever you do, DON'T fertilize potatoes or add compost to the dirt before you plant them!

Here is a short list of some interesting books. You might find one on your own hometown.

Books Bios & More

I recently found one entitled, "Holdenville, 100 Years and Counting Book."

These are "shoebox" photographs, some of them unidentified. Maybe you can help identify the people in the photographs.
