Last weekend, Marc and I spent time (well, Marc did most of the work) digging out the "pest motel" and getting it out of the yard! It wasn't very fun. We filled 5 buckets of dirt (and other goodies that had been brought into their "motel"). Now I'm not sure how to get rid the 5 buckets. Any suggestions? I think I'll call to see if they can go in the bulk trash collection.
While Marc dealt with the barrel, I put the compost bin together. It didn't take so long putting the bin together. The time consuming part was creating a wire contraption to keep the pests out (although now I don't think there is a way for the pests to get into the yard. Like my friend Kate said, they'll try to create a new way so I just need to stay on top of it). I had to add a plastic tarp to the bottom since I couldn't anchor it in dirt. Anyway, the compost bin is set and cooking!
Well, looks like things are growing out there! All of my seedlings have doubled in size! Below are pics of my "salad table." The sage and rosemary have been there for a few years now. I love perennials! I also found a berry (small and green) growing from the strawberry/mint basket. The summer bulbs and clematis have returned as well.
