Started with the retired sand turtle. Biggest issue early on was not adding the right ratio of greens/browns (too many grass clippings) and the dog getting into it if I added food scraps.
I built a simple wooden box with a gate to keep the dog out. Hopefully this will allow me to spend less time policing it and just let nature do its thing with a little bit of help by adding water and manual turning.
I have been thinking about adding a sheltered spot on the side with hooks to store my pitchfork so I don't have to walk back and forth to the garage each time it needs some TLC.

Looking good, well done.
Now pee on it 😉
I like the turtle 🐢
Would have gone with something like cedar instead of chemically treated wood here.
You’ve been bitten by the composting bug. It’s just going to get worse (better? lol) from here.
