    Several decades ago my mother called me & said Donna I need a composting bin now grant it she had 3 son's. So I said okay do you want an 2 or 3 bin, so I built a 3 bin out of pallets & metal screen & it turned out great still standing and it's over 30+ years old. Your composting bin needs to be able to breathe & with all your all your hard work you want your bin working for you

      Donna , right about the bin needing some air circulation.... They may need to pull some boards off the sides and replace with wire...... Or just drill a bunch of holes...

      @@steveadamscatfishingthemis6125 maybe taking away every other board and putting some hardware cloth it will have adequate air.
      They need a third bin.
      1 for scraps
      2 for the break down of 1 after some time.
      3 for your almost final soil & do not for get to add nitrogen often found in pee.

    I"m rewatching all the original videos from when you guys first came to your land. I notice how Abe is a real worker especially loves to help his Mom. He picks big jobs to do like carrying large log pieces for her to split and really thinks about how he can make it easier for her. What a smart boy. The girls are always in there too helping . You are surely bringing up your family well, with good values and especially lots of LOVE. Good job

    I was thinking yesterday watching your brother's clip when they talked about the hardships and positives.. That in a warped way the constant rain and mud the flees the humidity.. put you thru some of the worst... So everything from now "weather wise" can only get better. Love that you're recycling everything.. that's what off grid and self sufficiency is all about. I watched a clip yesterday of a guy clearing a future pasture.. had been woods.. and he commented about the pioneers who did it without tractors and other machinery. You guys are like the pioneers.
