I compost everything but since I'm single it is a wacky off-kilter bunch of stuff. So many coffee grounds my Clematis have the jitters!

I don't have anything nearly that elaborate but it is so smart to do it this way. You'll not stand the chance of getting something that will burn your plants cause it's not done composting. It does reap huge rewards doesn't it?

NASITS sounds like a skin condition medication hawked on TV by a loud announcer. But your screen looks great and I know that is black gold under it. As for my compost bin, I thought I had done a post about mine, but it was included this post:

I've had various types of bins over the years but I'm not currently doing much composting because I really don't have room. Much as I would love a tumbler, I have no idea where I would put it!

I, too, love compost. Sometimes I think it's the main reason I garden. There is nothing like the rich, earthy smell of sifted compost and the lovely texture as I scratch it in to our heavy clay or top dress the overwintering annuals such as larkspur and bluebonnets.

I have a compost tumbler and a open pile next to it. I have recently bought a new chipper/grinder which I've yet

My composting system is not as organized as yours, but one thing that can be said about composting is that it eventually works, no matter how unorganized it is. I just visited the New York Botanical Garden where they have big compost piles, but I didn't get to see them alas.

Nice sieve, kind of like my brain at times. I will add this to my project list! Fabulous idea!
My compost is an atrocious mess. No bragging.

I guess wire bins really are one of the best ways for compost, as they get the most air this way. Perhaps you need to be a bit more frequent with the watering to keep moist though? Like the idea of the bamboo screen too. Would like to see it in action. Pictures perhaps? Post on Twitter?

You have such a nice neat compost system. That seive looks great too.
