Sarah’s Compost Bucket
My dad sent money for my birthday a while back and I knew immediately what I would spend it on, this compost bucket from Sarah’s House of Clay. I finally got around to doing so at the Durham Farmer’s Market on Wednesday.
My dear Granny, also named Sarah, would make her biscuits in an old brown melamine bowl ~ massaging shortening into the dry ingredients and then quickly and gently squeezing in buttermilk ~ then use the bowl for other dinner scraps to toss over the railroad tracks. She’s my composting inspiration, and this bucket is going to remind me of all kinds of nice things when I use it. I hope it will survive long enough for my own grandkids to remember.
I feel bad showing the world I threw out perfectly good spinach, but it was not; it was uncharacteristically bitter (not from the DFM).

Composting buckets that cool are at the Durham Farmer’s Market? How’d I miss them?
Neat story about your Granny too.
Oh, and happy (belated) birthday!

Yes! Look for the table of pottery… cups, bowls, other lovely things. The bottom of the bucket is pottery; not sure that is obvious from the pic.
Thanks for birthday wishes! :)
That patch of RR track has stayed green, too! I’d forgotten about that bowl.
Your bucket is BEAUTIFUL!
Happy to refresh your memory. I’ve got more where that came from. :p
