Composting is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the garden. This is a temporary compost pile set up made of 4 pieces found rebar, some leftover chicken wire, and a small heat treated pallet.

We have big plans for 2023 and it starts with finishing our “new” shed. The foundation, made from 2x8s, was pulled from a backyard renovation in downtown Atlanta. We salvaged the frame and some metal roofing from Savannah. We

We couldn’t have accomplished this much without my parents and our dear friends! Check back soon to see our finished product ;)

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
