My first impressions of the Lifetime 80 Gallon Compost Tumbler.
This is a great size tumbler for anyone that generates a small amount of kitchen and yard waste. I filled this in about 4 weeks. We eat a lot of fruits and vegetables so it held quite a bit of waste.

As the darkest hour is said to be just before the dawn, so the point where spring and winter meet may prove the most comfortless of seasons. Frost has disheartened the tender springing that had begun among green things under the earth…..

Every home should be surrounded by a beautiful and artistic yard. Almost all appreciate this fact, and it will not bear argument, but there is considerable divergence of opinion as to the best way to make the yard beautiful.
The keynote of landscape beauty is harmony……..

I had always had a wild ambition to be a farmer, and be far from the hurly-burly of metropolitan life. Of farming I knew nothing but what I had heard from people who delighted in ridiculing its independence, as well as in looking at it from a serious standpoint, in order to prove it a comic occupation……….

Lavender has many wonderful uses. People use it for tea, essential oil and fragrance. I love the lavender plant for its shear beauty. The plant attracts lots of beneficial bugs to your garden. Propagating lavender is simple. Every gardener should give it a try.
In this video, I am growing cuttings from a plant I bought a while ago.
Well, I went and did it. I finally bought a compost tumbler. After years of fighting the racoons and bears I decided to break down. Stay tuned for videos of me filling it and explaining how I compost.

How To Make Your Own Home Made Butter
Did you ever want to know how to make butter? Well, it’s about the easiest thing to do. Starting with heavy whipping cream, I’ll show you how easy it is.
I finally went and did it. I decided to move some of my plants outside rather than let my indoor grow room overtake the house. So the kale, broccoli and lettuce are out the door.
Having made that decision brought up another challenge. Where to put them. The greenhouse is full. So I decided to build a cold frame to put them in. In this video I will take you through the step by step process in building your own.
After purchasing the 10 x 12 Harbor Freight Greenhouse, It became evident there were other modifications that needed to be done.
Scouring the internet revealed a plethora of people complaining about how flimsy it was. I neglected to act right away, which became my worst nightmare.
After about 2 weeks, we had a slight wind and it knocked 2 of the panels off.
Not thinking this was a big deal, I put them back on and added a few extra clips. 1 month later, we had a fairly big wind storm.
The next morning I went out to find that half of my panels were blown off and two of them were snapped right in half.
I knew it was now time to act.
I order twice as many clips as the greenhouse came with.
I secured the panels using every clip I had thinking I was finished.
Well, I wasn’t. Just a few weeks later we had a major windstorm. I’m talking a blowout.
This time, not only did most of my panels blow off, It twisted the greenhouse sideways and collapsed it right to the ground.
I was furious.
So I set out on a mission to solve the problems.
This video will show my modifications.
