Harvest of compost in my garden: the lower part of the pile is black gold --banana peels, orange peels, all the kitchen scraps alive with worms and other creepy crawlies.
Drive axle with a 16 inch pulley bolted to the axle drive. Intend to run a 1 horse electric motor to turn this axle causing a drum to turn which causes the next axle to turn which causes another drum to turn and on and on...Supposed to eventually have 6 drums.
The picture above is of an enormous composting pile next to the Research Greenhouse at UMD. From my estimation it is about 7 ft tall, and 8 ft wide. People bring any soil, plants, or food left over from their research at the greenhouse and they throw it into the compost pile. Composting is the natural process of decomposition of plants and food into organic matter that can fertilize plants and soil. While everything alive decomposes eventually, composting speeds up the process because the heat from the dead material stacked in a heap speeds up the metabolic process and creates an ideal environment for bacteria and fungus (Hu). Decomposition is the first stage of nutrient recycling of plant or animal bodies, where dead tissue is broken down and turned into simpler organic forms. Decomposers are the animals (such as earthworms and maggots), fungus, or bacteria that aid in the decomposition process (Featherstone et al.).
Composting relates to Sustainable Development Goal 12: Ensure Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns- meaning that we need to minimize our use of natural resources, and cut down on the waste and pollutants we produce (United Nations). By composting, you are taking what many people would throw out in the trash, and instead of producing waste, you turn it into something beneficial to plants and soils. Which also rids the need to buy fertilizer and cuts down on consumption.

Compost or garbage? The Crisp Taco I had for lunch was wrapped in foil. Some of the filling spilled out and I used 2 napkins to clean up afterwards.

The Skyloo composting latrine consists of two brick pits, constructed above ground level with a latrine squatting slab and superstructure on top. Human waste drops through a hole into the vaults and ash is thrown on top, increasing alkalinity to a level that kills pathogens. The temperature in the vaults is raised by the sun beating down on metal vault covers and the decomposition of the faeces. This also neutralises pathogens. After several months the first pit is dug out and the fertile compost is used to grow crops.The second pit is then used until it becomes full and the process is repeated.
This home built machine uses a concrete mixer and screen to separate the large and fine materials after the compost is finished.

Quatro aeronaves F-16, da Força Aérea Portuguesa, aterraram, no dia 18 de setembro, na Base Aérea de Borcea, na Roménia, para integrarem a operação “Falcon Defense 2017”.
Esta Força Nacional tem como objetivo a realização de vários tipos de missões de treino naquele país. Entre elas destacam-se missões combinadas com as Forças Armadas Romenas: Exército, Armada e Força Aérea. De relevar também, os voos de treino planeados com os F-18 da Força Aérea do Canadá, também destacada na região, e com o E3-A AWACS que sobrevoa frequentemente a zona. Este voos têm o intuito de treinar e consolidar procedimentos de operação em coligação, no âmbito da OTAN.
Esta Força Militar tem como propósitos adicionais treinar o destacamento e operação fora da Base mãe dos nossos F-16 que frequentemente constam da lista de meios das NATO Response Forces e a partilha de conhecimento e experiência nas várias áreas de operação da aeronave F-16 Fighting Falcon com a Força Aérea Romena.
Recorde-se que Portugal alienou recentemente à Roménia 12 aeronaves F-16. O contrato de alienação comporta duas grandes fases: uma, que termina neste mês de Setembro, a realizar em terras Lusas, onde se incluí a formação de 84 militares romenos, e a entrega das aeronaves; e uma outra, que decorre até meados do próximo ano, que se desenrola na Roménia, e que passa pelo apoio técnico feito por militares portugueses no acompanhamento e auxilio na instalação e operação destas aeronaves na sua nova base.
O contingente português vai estar destacado durante dois meses e é composto por 70 militares da Força Aérea das áreas de operações, proteção da força, manutenção, logístico\financeira, comunicações e sistemas de informação, saúde, Intelligence e relações públicas.

Ambrosia for the garden once its composted. This poop is collected from the toilets and is nearing its final stage of composting. Lots of sprouts and ants. One of our members accidentally stepped on the metal cover which did not hold his weight and his foot broke through and landed in the stuff. He looked stunned, but sustained no ill effects once his foot was washed off.
