I'm a relative newcomer to all this. I'm concentrating on growing a good healthy lawn and on composting. All I've got invested in this so far is:

- about $20 worth of wire fencing to make a compost bin
- a brand new $30 pitchfork
- A $24 compost thermometer.

for my next purchases, I'm thinking about

- a fishtank aerator for making compost tea
- one of those fancy metal 1 gal. sprayers like Howard has on his videos...

Does anyone have any other ideas that I could put on my Christmas wishlist?

Well, I guess I can scratch the stainless steel spray can. Those puppies cost $250 new!

Well Leon I hope you got what you wanted for Christmas,if not check out Crigslist and look under the "Free" section and find wood,chicken wire,pvc pipe and other stuff for making a compost pile,also look for a really good book called LET IT ROT! ,it's about composting made really,really simple.
