Composting and sewing (not sowing)

@BenCotto I'm curious about why you would add carpet pieces to covers for bins. Do the bins not have lids or ?

Please fill me in on this as I've never seen this here.

Thank you.

 

You could get yourself a leather speedy stitcher to sew it.

 

Yes Canadian Lori, the ones we buy have had the lids
but I've lost me thread on this one

Maybe it's a home made one

 

A layer of carpet on top of the compost (under the lid) helps to keep the heat in. These days I use several layers of cardboard (flattened internet shopping boxes), ever since someone told me that even mostly-wool carpets leach microplastics. Maybe that's a good reason to encase the carpet in something.

 

Thanks for letting me know @JennyJB .
