Garden & Ground
What you reach for when working outside.
Dirt under the fingernails is just part of the aesthetic out here. Here's what we reach for to make it worth it.
This is the outside game. Composting, water collection, worm bins. None of it is complicated once you get going, and we're still getting going if we're being straight about it. You don't need a lot of land for most of it. You just need to pick something and start.
Compost Tumbler, 45 Gallon Dual Chamber
I started with the single chamber and eventually moved to this one. Two chambers mean one side can finish while the other side is still building. If you have the space, the dual chamber is worth it.

Miracle-Gro Compost Tumbler, 18.5 Gallon Single Chamber
This is where I started. Smaller footprint, easier to manage when you're figuring out the rhythm of composting. If space is tight or you're just getting going, this one gets the job done.
