don't make this mistake with your compost
I was sifting my compost using this basket
It looks good and smells good
But look what I found in it
very sharp bones
Last summer we went fishing and we caught several big catfish, I buried the fish heads and guts at the bottom of the compost pile, I forgot about the bones in the fish, some of those bones have a sharp saw like edge on them and are very sharp.
One of the important rules of making compost, don't put bones in the compost pile.

Do I see the first "compost necklace" coming? Sure, it looks like fish bones, but it was in the compost pile....lol.

Josh, I love your use of the veggie storage basket as a sifter for your compost. Good idea.
It looks so rich and beautiful.

It's comforting to know that even the "experts" make a mistake now and then!
