Thanks for the birthday wishes girls! You are so sweet!
I just got back from dinner and I had been thinking about what to do. Of course hubby thinks I wasted all that money...so I gotta salvage it. I am gonna get a big trash can from Lowes and drill holes in it and half fill it with my mess....and compost on top of it for a year. Might get two so I can salvage all my "concrete" that was expensive. Yikes!

Yes, I will do the digging out tomorrow. I too, think they used play sand not builders sand.:



I learned about play sand the hard way. And you might want to put some branches/leaves in the bottom of the new compost bin -- just a couple inches before dumping the "concrete" into it. The more organic matter the better. And the branches will help it have air in the bottom, as well.

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
