Leave it to you to be able to make a compost heap beautiful. LOL!

Thank you, actually I have a lot of flower pots on the cement blocks that hold the compost in, and they do dress up the area.

How sweet! You have one healthy compost bin!

A cinder block compost? Now that's a good idea! We bought the fake plastic wood to not deal with maintenance or rot and already it's to small. Would have been nice to have blocks you can always rearrange!

That is right, we can reconfigure the shape and size to suit our needs this way.

Very very nice, josephine.. :) I've never seen that type of Datura...

I love the idea of a cinder block compost myself...hmmm......*

Not that you'd want to go to the trouble but you can also buy concrete stain to perk it up even more!

You are right Tir, but that is why I have that Carolina Cherry Laurel in front of it, it hides it just great.

that's what I call a productive compost pile!

I have one but it's only growing in a pot- I think you have proven the value of compost!
