Last month I built a raised garden and after reading this ng decided to make some compost. I went to a local business and got four discarded pallets, stood them upright and wired the corners so I have a bin about 5 feet square and 3 1/2 feet high. Yesterday I got four bales of moldy hay that was left in the field last year. Put about 6 inches in the bottom of the bin then started mowing lawn and bagging clippings. I moistened the hay then layered grass clippings and moldy hay until the bin was full. Grass was also moist..Appreciate any suggestions.
