^ That's nice! I'm cheap, but may not be as handy as you. I took some scrap 42" wove wire and tied the ends together and set them out of the way below the chicken house. I fill them with grass clippings, chicken litter, rabbit poo and hay/poo mixture from the barn. I'll add a little left over fertilizer and give it a turn w/ a pitch fork every once in a while.
" I would like one... I am a terrible gardner and would like tips. Maybe some info on the importance of PH levels? "
I'm in the South and natural ph is pretty low. Example: when planting corn, my typ 5-10-15 rate is 500 to 600 # / ac, but the lime rate will be 1 to 1.5 tn / ac. Contact your local extension about getting soil samples. I pick the bags up local (kinda, same county), take samples, write on the bag what I'm growing (bermudagrass, corn, peas, ...) and mail it off. A few weeks later, I get the results and recommended rates for what I'm growing.
What the 'bad gardeners' typ do is get all excited about it in the spring, loose interest in the summer and then it goes to crap.
