In Nepal, dry leaves from the jungle are used to make organic compost in their backyard.

For this weeks Macro Mondays challenge "Trash" I went with our compost recycling bin which had an apple an orange and a banana peel.

A little fantasy fun after making squash soup

Good for compost, I understand.

Nature having its way with these Leaves.

In your garden, pull up any dead plants and lay them on the ground around healthy plants. You can also chop them up and mix them into the soil.

 

While leaves changing color in the fall are dying, they are not dead. A cold snap will kill the leaves the same as it will on the leaves of most your other plants.

Time to get that Composting Bin started.

Eskilstuna, Sweden 2011

We were surprised to look out to see these sweet ladies in our yard. One of them was very interested in our compost!

 

I feel terrible for wildlife lately because the air quality is horrendous due to the Canadian wildfires. For several days it’s been in the “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” range, with a constant haze in the air. While we have the option of closing windows & filtering our air, they do not.

Here in rural Ontario we not only get black flies at the onset of spring along with mosquitos right through until fall but, we also get deer flies. They are a stupid insect as they land on you and before they can take a bite you have time to swat them. If they do happen to get a bite well, they take chunks out of you.

 

This fella was seen here on my little compost pail in the kitchen this morning and as it is macro Monday well, he was fair game for me. I managed to get quite a number of "portraits" of him before I took him on the lid and sent him packing out the door.

 

I may not always get to thank you for every fave or reply to a comment that you might leave here on my image but, just know each comment is read and very much appreciated.

This was a family friends' garden centre after the final days of trade. It's now demolished.

Superb Fairy-wrens were particularly observant and appeared already while I was busy with the compost and they seemed to be working alongside me.

We’ve been taking steps to impact the earth less and minimize our waste, such as reducing our plastic use and purchasing less. One thing I’ve been wanting to do for a while is to start composting again (we weren’t very successful with it several years ago), and after researching it for a while, we finally started. The bin works great for this environment because we tend to get a lot of dampness & humidity here. Plus, it’s made from untreated cedar instead of plastic. The pail is for keeping on our kitchen counter and is perfect, complete with a filter to keep the smells in the pail.

The green waste collected from households and commercial gardeners is wetted down and put into these massive rooms on one side of the building. It quickly starts to decompose and the temperature rises to around 60C.

 

All this heat causes steam to escape from the hanger doors.

These are wood pallets we got from a local business to use for our compost bins. The Rhubarb is growing on the left side and a volunteer Delicata Squash is growing in front of the bin.

SONO SOLO I GABBIANI IN VOLO,NON LA NAVE DA CARICO....

  

Il Gabbiano comune è un cacciatore scaltro, capace di adattarsi anche ad ambienti diversi da quello marino: non è raro, infatti, avvistarlo nei campi o a scovare invertebrati tra le zolle arate. È una specie gregaria durante tutto l’anno, facilmente osservabile anche nei centri urbani. Si muove quasi sempre in gruppi numerosi, composti anche da varie centinaia di individui, nei pressi di discariche di rifiuti solidi urbani e sui campi coltivati, soprattutto nei giorni di pioggia abbondante oppure al seguito di trattori in aratura.

È spiccatamente onnivoro e, non di rado, lo si può osservare mentre tenta di sottrarre il cibo ad altri uccelli, compresi i propri simili…

Four months ago I took this picture because I felt so captivated by the ordinary details I found in these pieces of peppers I had sliced that were to be discarded. Even though this would become compost material I really appreciated the colors, shapes, and light I saw here. I find “real” food/fresh produce so beautiful and interesting in appearance and love how I feel so thankful and excited when thinking about the nutrients and benefits fresh produce provides for our bodies. I’m thankful I took the time to capture what I saw.

The largest of the abandoned barges I photographed on this day. The wood timbers are so substantial that they partially turn to compost long before they totally disintegrate. Some of the barges have a thicket of shrubbery growing on top; this one had smaller plants on the side.

 

The original swimming pool is still intact on the grounds of the circa-1910 Cornish Estate near Cold Spring, N.Y. There had to have been a great view of the Hudson Highlands down the slope before all these trees sprouted.

A port-a-loo is always a great place to make compost and grow flowers

WEEK 15: APRIL 2008/2010 FLASHBACK – ENTROPY

 

We keep this little metal pail in our kitchen to throw out vegetable matter for compost.

 

I opened it today and thought, since the stuff hadn't decayed all that much, the variety of colors and textures were pretty cool. I thought it would make for an interesting photo for Entropy.

I've sunk to new lows in trying to get some pictures taken during the lock down. This is the contents of my backyard composter.
