On top of the usual cleaning and hauling manure – today I finally put together a cheap garden composter that I bought like 4+ years ago.

The book is often hailed as the benchmark in fairylore and a staple of study in the field or for anyone interested in the subject.

I know that I keep harping on this fact – but your ‘intent’ doesn’t mean a dang thing if you are too incompetent to formulate a working plan to pull it off.
