Composting anyone...

As the summer moves on and more and more veggies are finding their way into our mouths many of us are also finding that there is a noticleble amount of compostable material as a by product of our gardening adventures. It has always been a plan to implement a compost system for Harvest Gardens, it seems however that it is needed sooner rather than later.

Currently I am looking into a bunch of designs with key features being: strong construction (so that it can withstand the rigours of park life), large enough to accomodate all our organic would-be wastes, looks great (after all our garden is a masterpiece so far, why ugly it up if we don't have to), low maitenance (no one wants more to take care of), and if possible cheap to construct. There are a million different plans for composters out there, here is one site I have found helpful. I'm leaning towards something similar to the picture below, but would love input from anyone who has experience or is interested in being part of this little composter project. If you are such a person email cmroy@yahoo.com with the subject: COMPOST.
