I don't know why this tomato was unfit for neither salad nor sauce, but here it sits at the edge of a compost pile waiting to go back to the bottom of the food chain.
A few months ago, the company I work for decided to "go green" and ditched the styrofoam cups and plates and the plastic utensils in favor of paper and... whatever you call plastic made from corn. The eating utensils "made from plants" are only marginally more useful than they would be if they were cardboard, but this cup gets a big thumbs up.
Our neighbor put this orchid in the compost a week ago. While it was out there, the flowering stems curled upward towards the sun & one even sprouted a new wand of buds. So I picked it up, cleaned off all the rotting sphagnum moss and dead roots, and put it in a new pot. We'll see if I can get any blooms out of it. If not, I'll let my wife take over. She has the magic orchid touch.
Marni Thompson (L), NRCS soil health specialist, and Kailee Calnan, NRCS supervisory district conservationist (R) use a brix meter to test the level of sugar in green growing crops where compost extract was applied in the field to help get a relative idea of the health of the plant. Larry Johnson, Shawn Preputin, and Alec McIntosh, farmers, create compost extract that is applied to their crop fields to bolster soil microbes and improve soil health. Hill County, MT; June 2022

The finished compost bin, before it was moved to it's permanent home. The lid is made from a old glass storm door.

Seeing this makes me nostalgic for Compost Corner.

Composting Yard Waste at Morris Arboretum. All of Springfield Township's collected leaves and Christmas trees are composted here and redistributed to the community. This is 5% of the Township's solid waste stream.
I like the look of compost. This year there were volunteer tomatoes, melons and cucumbers from mixing the compost from last year into the garden soil. One spring a beautiful tiger salamander crept out of the compost after spending the winter in the depths of compost.

If you aren't interested in my compost woes, I apologize and urge you to move right along...
My tumbling composter did an amazing job of turning my food scraps into a sodden, sludgy mess infested with fruit flies. Bah. The mix between greens and browns was way off, then a big rain storm plus lawn thatch made for gross, slimy clumps of grossness..
So I emptied the tumbler out onto plastic sheets and left it to bake in the sun. I moved it onto the bricks later to keep warming it from below. I'm pretty sure this compost is 50% fly maggots right now so I'm hoping the sun and drying will kill them off.
From now on I'm going to try to balance the amount of paper and fruit/veg scraps as I add them to the bucket in my kitchen. The bad news is, I have the other side of the composter yet to dry out.
Ho hum.
I'm afraid we were just aerating for them to come back stronger, time will tell. It's always nice to be outside.
After household waste is sorted on the tipping floor, it spends three days in these digesters. Natural bacteria begin breaking down the waste, raising the temperature to 60 degrees celsius, which sterilizes the material. As the slightly downward-angled tubes rotate, the immature compost moves from one end to the other where it is screened for inorganic waste and deposited in the aeration building.
Apparently, these 4 digesters are the largest in the southern hemisphere (Australians seem fond of claiming superlatives in the southern hemisphere).

a compost bin was added at my apartment, but it's the same color/kind of bin as recycling and trash. so, this is the result.
(not pictured: yet another sign like the one at the top of the photo that is hanging just to the left.)
sigh.
Playing with the Milk Bar recipe. I forgot that I had upped the amount of coffee the last time I made them... but still, so good!

Fenneke Wiepkema: Bij akkerbouwer Marten ten Cate was het deze week een drukte van belang. Op dezelfde dag werd zowel rundveemest als compost uitgereden op een tarwestoppel waarin ook een groenbemester is gezaaid. De tarwe was vorige week maandag(8 aug) al gedorsen. De opbrengsten vielen tegen: 8,5 tot 9 ton. Dat vinden we eigenlijk niet goed genoeg’, aldus de akkerbouwer uit Swifterbant. Na de oogst is het stro gehakseld en kan de mest er op.

You need 5 pallets of the same size, an open box (flat chisel), a mass and that's it! On the front, this is a board that can be found in supermarkets. I reused the nails from pallets to assemble the all.
