Awesome setup RM! I really like the idea of a 'junk' pile. I hope to setup a 3 bin system soon with shipping pallets. I have one bin now that's almost ready, but it'd be nice to have a perpetual cycle going.
Used pallets are a GREAT way to make a compost bin...
My friend has had one for years, and made his really strong by wrapping the whole thing up with chicken wire after it was built.
(Did anyone see the chicken in my first photo?...
Who ever said "Theirs no such thing as a free lunch", as soon as she sees someone carrying a shovel, she follows, knowing worms and bugs will result)
Here is a question:
what are acceptable cover crops? just clover and comfrey or can i use something I already have..?
Like mint, or basil, rosemary, ..?

Try thinking about low growing mineral fixing plants...
Clover, Vetch, Basil, Thyme, Oats, Peas...even Strawberries or Moss could be used.
Mint is very aggressive, and will smother just about anything in its path, all while eating everything in your soil mix very happily...
And Rosemary would be a bit too big, unless you did some super bonsai job and kept it LOW.
strawberries????..........im sold..........been stalking u guys for hundreds of pages all u had to say was strawberries

I thought the mint might be an ok one, I am just low on cash and like to use what I have around. Maybe I'll try some basil and mint .

Is anybody familiar with this product,it's whole aloe vera if that matters. A lot cheaper than others I looked at.
