I peeked inside and saw a well 'cooked', well sifted, taller than me pile of compost. Brown gold! I said, darn, I didn't bring my bolt cutters!!!
Stew and dumplings for lunch today. So much rain that going out to get a photo wasn't an option.

Well, I was surprised to note these mushrooms perched atop my neighbor's new compost pile! What a great find! Of course, it is screened from the street. However, my boy MacDuff sought it out on our morning walk, and I followed to see what moved him onward. I'm assuming the population of raccoons previously resident in our night time gardens, has been decimated by the owl population, also night hunters. So I may attempt another compost pile myself. It has been almost a year since my sleep was interrupted by the dogs barking at a night foray of coons.....I had to stop feeding birds, stop composting too. Perhaps the time is right to resume both????
Oh wow, these look so good and then I blow up the image, but there is a lack of focus in the detail of the surface. I am disappointed by this, for I saw it with my eye.....and it is not here THAT WAY......yeah, the iPhone 11 ProMax is about to retire, methinks. The texture of mushrooms is a matter of some importance in this world, right?
a charming little wood mouse on our compost heap - note I'm using the 100mm macro lens - I was about 2-3 feet away, and it wasn't concerned at all.

A local farmer runs a green waste recycling centre.After its treatment he then stores it in the local fields for a few weeks before spreading,as seen.
Series of three. I found this interesting spider on the underside of the compost bin lid. Not one I have seen before. An ID would be appreciated, if anyone knows what it is. I think it is Steatoda grossa or nobilis, dark variety.
I made my first batch of compost in my Lomi yesterday. It takes around 3-5 hours to process one gallon of solid compost. I have a compost bin in my kitchen that I put vegetable and fruit scraps in on a daily basis. Once that is full, I empty that into my Lomi and process. It yields about 2-3 cups of ready-to-use compost. I'll do this over the winter and save what I don't use for my shade garden and seed starting next Spring.
A visit to Deer Crossing The Art Farm. For the full description and more photos, see my blog post about it.
This is just a compost bowl. It looks like some fancy dessert, some bougie preparation plating, but it's just an espresso puck, some strawberry guts, and radish roots.
I got this slightly upmarket compost bin (well very upmarket compared to my usual home made compost retention solutions!) during the week. I was unreasonably excited today putting it together and filling it ( I cut the grass, pulled some weeds from gravel, cleared out the henhouse, added a bin of shreded hedge cuttings from last year, tore up collected cardboard, a bag of straw that got damp and added some cold produced compost that will be very weedy unless I give it a good heating in a new heap. So satisfying & 14k steps!
I do think I have the ratios roughly right and that the whole thing will be getting hot by tomorrow evening. It will shrink and I will add another few batches of material over next 2-3 weeks
