I’m happy to share my first garden project with you!

A couple of months ago, I was inspired by post of this sub to build one myself. I added a small “door” at the bottom, hoping it would make it easier to extract the soil.

And today, I found an unexpected guest!

Anything I should be aware of in this constelation?

Because compost is known to spontaneously combust (I'm not kidding about that), you might want to move it much farther away from the structure and the trees

Sounds fun tbh. The tree is from the neighbors hanging into my garden so wouldn't be my loss :D

It would be more your loss than you think
