Hot gases from decomposting green waste are drawn out through this ducting.

My darkest Halloween pic so far this year.

It would take an organic farmer to post such a sign on his boundary fence; I wonder what grows beyond the native bush on the other side of that barbed wire.

Good for compost, I understand.

Time to get that Composting Bin started.

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.

I was dumping some yard debris and spotted a few of these. I didn't have any plans on photographing, but...

I used a small puck light due to the bright backdrop and took 60 images for my stack. I had hoped to capture the back valance, but this guy was very short.

The plastic earth screws were no match for Bruno. We’ve had lots of visits from this bear and/or it’s friends.

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

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.

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.

still to do... turn heap of soil (previously full of stinging nettles) into two new beds for veggies... wait till May to plant veggies... tree is apple... shrub is lilac...

This is what our compost looks like at the moment. It proves that the compost soil is excellent, and that the garden care is somewhat neglected :)

On its way to the compost bin...

Most of the strawberries were lovely - this one seems to be growing rather a lot of mould !!!!!

Macro Mondays - Trick or Treat

 

Some years ago we warned local children that if they threw eggs at our house when denied a treat their compost heap would become infested with ghoulish horrors.

 

This creature was recently found on one of their garden paths - clearly tortured to reveal the location of where where others might be hiding. You have been warned!

 

No apples were actually harmed during the capture of this individual, it's a mock up.

I thought the snow on the lid of this compost bin looks like the radioactivity symbol.

 

O interior da Sé Catedral de Lamego apresenta uma notável riqueza artística e arquitetónica, refletindo várias épocas e estilos. A catedral é composta por três naves divididas em três tramos, cobertas por abóbadas de aresta que assentam em arcos de volta perfeita e robustos pilares. Um dos elementos mais impressionantes são os tetos, pintados na primeira metade do século XVIII pelo célebre pintor-arquiteto italiano Nicolau Nasoni. Estas pinturas exibem composições barrocas triunfantes em perspetiva, combinando temas arquitetónicos com episódios bíblicos.

The Flickr Lounge-Made Of Wood

 

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.

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.

 

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

...in testa ad un invio di materiale storico, composto da 4 vetture Corbellini e un bagagliaio, da Novara ad Alessandria.

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.

Nature Recycling, what it made.

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.

Here is a Composting company that runs in Milwaukee.
