Yesterday, we went to pick up the new compost bin for the Arizona house. Today, we assembled it and put it in the new place on the west side of the house behind the courtyard.
To get the compost going, we added topsoil and a bag of potting soil in the bottom of the bin. We already have put kitchen scraps and such to the mix in the bin.

Bob ordered 250 red worms on-line and when they arrive next week, we will put them in and cover them with more topsoil and scraps. We should have a good compost going within a few weeks to produce our own worm casting garden soil for use in the vegetable garden this summer.
