I've been looking for these instructions. I want to turn part of my front lawn into planting beds for food for next spring. I think I need to hop to it and get this started for them to be ready by then. It doesn't look hard, I just need to collect the materials. Lucky for me, people leave compostables (green and brown) on the street every monday night. Some of it might disappear into my yard before the city can get it.
