I'd like you to meet Ella, our new composter. Ella, I'd like you to meet the Internet. Ella is an early birthday present from my Mom who is still trying to understand why I would ask for a composter for my birthday instead of a Louis Vuitton handbag. I can only chalk it up to an identity crisis.
I named the composter Ella because "Ela" means earth in like Greek or Arabic or Hindi or something like that and my Mom's name is Della and she's always wanted a namesake. I'm not sure she wanted something that decomposes waste to be her namesake but beggers (and people named Della) really can't be choosers now can they?
I'm so excited about my new composter that I am seriously having a hard time sleeping at night. That is not hyperbole. I literally lay there and think about waste and C/N ratios and compost tea and how it will be fabulous for my garden and blah, blah, blah.
Bestie Kara thinks composters aren't worth the "trouble" but I think she is just jealous.

We love our composter. My advice: keep it close to the door that closest to your kitchen. In Oregon, when it's raining so much in the winter, you won't use it if you have to walk all the way across the backyard.
Of course, you could always send Samuel to run across the backyard in the pouring rain...
welcome to the club my fellow composting bestie!! you will LOVE it!!! :)
