Guess who came looking for dinner?

The dogs barked like crazy at one point last night and I knew the bear was in the garden. The biggest clue was the compost bin. It had been knocked over. The bear had good table manners. The compost was picked through, but I don't think it found much. In a way, the bear did me a favour. I was going to wait until spring before doing anything about it. This is the most amazing compost bin...all of $2 at the thrift store a few years ago. It's made by Rubbermaid, although I can't find any info on it. It's double-lined and I'm not sure if I even have it right way up! I drilled holes in the lid and use metal tent pegs through holes in the bottom rim to keep it in place. Three years of compost and it was about a third full. I just had to shovel away the latest veggie, coffee filters and eggshell bits and the rest was pure black gold simply crawling with red wiggler worms. I added a ring of it all around the rhubarb and spread the rest in various garden beds.
