Watch Dogs, Lettuce and Compost Tumbler

Geckos watching over my peppers

I made this compost tumbler out of two old plastic planters. When I bought the planters, I had the ideal that I could grow tomatoes in them, but soon learned that the tomatoes would require watering daily to stay alive in the pots. Soon became too much of a chore, and their new use is working out better.  I do have more to do on the tumbler. I want to put a couple of pipes with holes drilled length wise through the middle of each planter to allow air to circulate better.

White Habanero July 2010



This pepper was loaded with fruit, but I had to pick them to keep it produceing. I haven't tried the peppers yet, so I can't tell you if they taste good or not. First year growing them.
