55g drum and a 5/8 steel bit.I plan to dig up sod that has been untouched for 50 years, except for occasional mowing and plant my pot in it.
The plots will be 3 by 3, leaving 8 feet between them so hubby can drive the John Deere and mow the weeds every couple of weeks.
I wanted to buy local compost but I really don't trust what may be in it. Can you recommend a course of action that will improve the soil without breaking the bank?
BTW, I do not have a compost pile. Tried that years ago and I'm too lazy to go out there and turn it during the winter. And I never seem to have the correct ratio of brown and green and kitchen scraps.
Make a spit, weld a pin on the Boltom side
Weld or bolt a common hand crank to the other side. Place barrel on spit. Get to drilling in a 5in x 5in grid pattern. Then wrap the drum in chicken wire so it’s not dropping the black gold. Cheap, easy, and give you awesome compost in 1 season as long as you turn enough. Shit put bearing on it, it’ll be butter smooth, you can even put a weight and flywheel kit on it that could do most of the work for you. Just gotta treat it like starting an old model t
