My Composting Bin works great to Make soil

I love composting. I take my peelings from my fruits and veggies and combine with shredded cardboard or grocery paper bags and rock dust. I have little that goes in the trash and it feels good. I have soil that I put back into the garden from the composting. My organic garden is doing well because of this great nutritious soil. The saying" What goes around comes around" comes to mind when I think of the nutrients that are going into making my soil. The only negative thing about it is the heavier it gets the harder this bin is to turn. So use your pitch fork and keep it small. When it gets to big and turns dry like soil then let it go. When the heat is gone, your soil should be ready. If it smells bad, don't use it. Something went wrong.
