Compost on the back of the bus

Time to Say Goodbye to the Roses.

a charming little wood mouse stocking up on seeds from 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. More to follow ;D

Our garden, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, UK

It's such a shame to throw away cut flowers, but at some stage... they become compost.

From weeds and leaves to next year's dirt. I recently moved this in order for it to catch more sun, it's working quite a bit better.

Terra Nova Rural Nature Park,

Thompson, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.

Terra Nova means 'New Land' in Latin. The land was first used as a grounds for hunting, fishing, and housing by the Musqueam First Nations people. This area was later claimed by European migrants as the area of Richmond was among the earlier Crown Grant subdivisions. Both groups of people contribute to this rural landscape's agricultural and fishing history.

Northern Black Racer - Coluber constrictor ssp. constrictor

Location: Durham NC (USA)

I was startled to find this large racer when I opened the compost bin. I returned with my phone and a camera. Got a couple of phone shots, but the snake dove out through one of the ventilation slots when I tried to lean in for a nice macro with the camera. Oh well.

The cold compost method will produce compost in one to two years. Hot composting takes only three to six months. Photo by Tiffany Woods.

Home made compost tumbler.

I made it from things I had at home. The barrel was free from a dairy and I had the hardware for about 20 years. I save everything thats of value, and my value system is probably different than most.

So my wife say's

Bij het plaatsje Wijster staat vlakbij recyclingsbedrijf Attero nog een monument met daarop twee afvalwagons van het type takkles die gebruikt werden in de jaren 80 en 90 voor het afvalvervoer, Een aantal museum organisaties hebben deze wagons ook nog in hun collectie waaronder De STAR.

I thought this was so beautiful. I had to photograph it before I took it out the compost pile.

Just yesterday's kitchen rubbish. Liked the colours and textures.

Opogona omoscopa. Found stranded in a bird bath, then fished out to dry off. Very dull but I haven'f found this one before.

Great Dixters compost heap is the biggest I've seen, although I believe Kew Gardens claim to have the biggest! This one however was complete with growing marrows. I would love to size the size of the marrows when they are ready!

Skeletor leaf! Try it biggified.

Rotted debris from passenger rear corner. When the rear was leaks, theater gets trapped by the rear wall's seal bottom. The water cannot drain, so it saturates the 2X4 and rots it from the top.

I built this compost bin with some special brackets I bought from Lee Valley, and some cedar fence boards I bought from a lumber yard.

20191011_1377_7D2-50 Compost Bins

At the start of this day the bin on the right did not exist. The bin on the left was my old bin #3, built about six months ago (in autumn/fall) and was full to 1m high.

We have decided to put a 3m x 3m garden shed behind the garage (to store some of my son's stuff) and therefore the old compost bins 1 and 2 (built about a year ago) have to be moved, as well as the 1,000 litre water tank that collects rainwater from the garage roof. It will go in part of the space vacated by old bin #2.

Therefore old bin #3 (on the left) is now new bin #1, there is a new bin #2 (now with the contents of old #3/new #1) and the third bin is yet to be built.

Each bin is approximately 1.2m wide x 1m deep and up to 1m high, so today I built bin #2 and shifted 1.2 cubic metres of compost, as well as looking after the two grand kids for the last day of the school holidays. Term 4 starts on Monday!

Compost

We have been successfully composting kitchen wastes for two years now and are very happy that we don't have a lot of garbage to throw out to the daily waste collector!

The pots are from Daily Dump, Bangalore. If you do have a bit of yard space, do consider trying this. It really is not difficult or time consuming at all.

We segregate 'Dry Waste' (plastics, paper, glass etc for recycling) and 'Wet Waste' (Vegetable peels, food, waste from cleaning the floors etc). The Dry waste needs to be given only once a week. and the wet waste comes to hardly a mug full, that I really don't need a plastic cover to dump that. I just line my waste bin with a newspaper, just so that it doesn't get messy.

Update December 2010:

Still composting at home and now cannot think of any other way! :)

We need one more compost bin to make it complete!
