While nursing (which is what I spend the vast majority of my time doing these days) I find myself dinking around the Internet (and sometimes doing research or writing. but not often.). Today I spent my time picking out the composter I would like to buy if I had 200$ in my pocket with no where to go. But one of the reasons I picked it is that 200$ is the best deal I can find, for one of these off the ground pest-resistant (urban friendly) spinning composters. We have an on-the-ground contained pile, but as we live in Baltimore it of course eventually attracted rodents (which were responsible for eating so many of our tomatoes last year). Luckily its far from our house, and so I haven't seen them, but as the evidence was there we had to abandon composting. That has seriously bummed me out as its almost spring and I have big hopes for my garden this year and the thought of buying compost is so annoying. But we have never been able to bring ourselves to shell out the money for one of these self-contained units. But its almost my birthday...
anyway, the one I have chosen is the "world's best organic compost tumbler" (with free shipping!)

Congratualations on babywearing and your new baby! I too am a cloth diapering baby wearing mama. Anyway, we used to live in Maryland and we made our own compost bin and it was really easy. All you have to do is get a metal trash can and drill holes in it. (Borrow a drill if you don't have one.) Put a little soil in than some veggie scraps than some leaves. Toss it with shovel. Continue layering. I haven't figured out how to do this in the desert though....
