Compost heap

I thought that compost heaps might be a fun addition to the gardening skills. They could be a good way to dispose of things like paper cups (biodegradable!), pumpkins when the season is over etc. To build the compost heap you would need to collect some timber, place some dirt in to prime it, and feed it an appropriate mix of materials.

As a result you would then be able to gather a compost material that acts like guano.

Any thoughts?

  • I like this idea.  Some thoughts: 
    1.       Compost “bins” could be constructible at different quality levels with higher quality bins requiring higher tinkering skill.
    2.       Compost bins could be place-able items like auto feeders and milk/meat collectors allowing builders to sell bins on the auctions page.
    3.       Compost bins could have multiple “slots” like a small garden plot allowing us to add to one compost “pile” while another is in the process of composting.
    4.       Each slot could begin composting once full or once triggered by the user.
    5.       Daily “tend compost” action could be added to speed compost time.
