Compost Food II

My compost pile in the backyar is the recipient of lots of good stuff. Today it got two orange halves after I squeezed out the juice for a raw beet salad. It got the ends of some broccoli rapini, a few garlic clove skins and the root tips of a very red beet.

 

A friend gave me his juicer a few weeks back and I have been making fresh juice everyday. I throw the pulp in the compost and since I have started this the compost pile seems to have taken on a life of it's own. The soil is dark brown and smells earthy and healthy. I don't know if it makes sense to say it smells healthy, but I don't know of any other way to describe it.

 

If you got any vegetable stuff you can throw it out back.
