The aroma and texture of finished compost – or humus – is a divine thing.
Rich, dark, and crumbly, humus has a sweet, loamy, and deeply earthy scent that is reminiscent of a stroll through a forest after a fresh rainfall.
Teeming with a gazillion microorganisms, you can practically smell the fertility!
But before you can appreciate the wonder of the humus harvest, you need some sort of housing to render down your collection of food and yard waste.

If you have a garden and can afford a small corner of space, then making your own compost is one of the most environmentally sound practices you can do.
It gives you a handy way of disposing of garden and kitchen waste, provides you with nutrient-rich compost that will feed your plants and improve the soil, and also helps keep armies of worms and bugs happy as they get on with the work.
At its simplest, all you need to do is create a pile of suitable material and, with minimal effort, it’ll, eventually turn into compost if you give it a year or two.

Since we were having gutters installed after our new roof we decided to finally get a rain barrel, too. This way the installers could match things up exactly.
Still waiting on that first winter rain though.

My DIY project for the weekend is to build a planter box with trellis to support a climbing vine, and I think I’ll stain it black. Last year I built some vegetable trellises and before that a criss cross wall trellis. I still have them both and they still function and look amazing!
April is the perfect time of year to tackle yet another DIY trellis! I was thinking something simple with a modern geometric design, so I went in search of inspiration. Y’all know me though, I had to share my research with you. Most of these are DIY projects, but a few are for purchase. These include simple designs and more intricate geometrics, but all so good!
