Engineered for municipal composting programs. Took this photo to show residents an example during the rollout.
I find compost very pretty: the colours, the stratification, the juxtaposition of food stuffs. It's like a dietary diary (except the grass, that's from the rabbits).
Glorious earthworms! There were literally hundreds of these wriggly dudes in the compost bin. Great for the soil. :)
The fine brown groundings are Ruibosch tea. The teabags were emptied so that Maya could make her own hand-sewn teabags with mint from the garden. I wanted to show how well an eggbox makes a bottom liner.

The photographs were taken with natural light from a skylight which gives a variation in the speed and aperture used. This information is recorded on the facing page with date of capture. The camera used was always a Sigma DP2 with Foveon sensor.

Screened a windrow and put the compost in the shed. Should help to keep it a lot drier than just sitting out on the mud.

An old deep tiller I use after the bags have been emptied on the field. Chisel spikes worked the best.
What nature drops into the environment composts and regenerates into new growth.
The same cannot be said for mankind's deposits.

anjo mulher
Uma mulher é composta
mais do que por sua beleza
estética, quando as palavras
identificam o modo dela pensar
e uma conquista sua alma aberta
uma descoberta prazerosa
atravessa o amor paixão desejo
Mulher guerreira companheira cúmplice arteira
ser mais próximo de Deus que eu conheço
sabedoria única instintiva de fêmea,
mãe de todos mulher que abriga todos os amores
parabéns pelo seu dia, obrigado mulher por se o que e
anjos disfarçados de gente para nos guiar

This bucket of soil started life as (non-meat) kitchen waste. After six months or so in a pile with occasional turnings of soil and shredded newspaper, it goes back to the garden. A satisfying domestic activity!
I haven't bought a bag of "topsoil" in years!
The leaves are new shoots of Four O'Clocks--Mirabilis Jalapa.

Finally got a chance to try out the 'new' screener. The compost is still frozen in the middle so it was difficult to get a full bucket of 'post. We had to adjust the offset weights to get the vibration but it works very well now. The motor runs at just a hair above idle, any faster and it smooths itself out. We had to put up some plywood due to wind.
