Short Description: A book of 17 photographs taken of my compost caddy whenever I found the contents interesting because of the colours or composition of elements or both. 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.

Professor David Bellamy opening the wildlife garden at Lydgate Infant School, Sheffield in 1991. I worked on this garden with a team of trainees from Sheffield City Wildlife Project.

Seeing this makes me nostalgic for Compost Corner.

& natural root beer. This stand had a really healthy organic rice bowl (w/ or w/out organic free-range chicken) & lots of veggies & seeds (hemp & sunflower) They used real dishes & silverware. They also had organic vanilla bean ice cream, so I got a root beer float.

The Barter Fair had lots of healthy food vendors

Tidy Cat litter bins, washed out, kept on the back porch for winter compost. Up next: bacteria, yeast, garlic and soil.

To the left you can see some soil and rock samples in ziploc bags. I have about 2 dozen at this point for various experiments.

Let's talk composting

The compost heap was jammed full. I was very pleased to find it yielded actual compost.

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!

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.

Cell 4 of the 2008 sheet composting season with cell 3 just to the right. These cells are mostly grass clippings from this year. Tried to arrange so that grass went over leaf areas from 2006. Just worked this in last week.

A family of mice have taken up residence in the compost heap at the bottom of the garden. Lift the lid and off they scuttle at a rate of knots into their various burrows. This one scarpered just slightly slower than the others, pausing just long enough for me to grab this shot.

I needed to move the compost heap from one side of the garden to the other, in order to dig up the flags next to the bench.

I tried shoving it and working it, but in the end, it was easier to shove it over, slide the plastic free, put it where it needed to go, and then re-fill it with the compost, which had been lying about on the floor.

The yard trimmings have been worked into the soil and are no longer visible.

A good sign of the health of the orchard compost pile. This pile mulched our organic Cascade and Centennial hops on Half Hill Farm.

Here is a look at the foam on top of a 24 hour compost tea brew.

Checking the temperature of the aerated water to see if I will need to feed the microbes in the compost tea. Usually between 70 - 80 degrees doesn't need molasses, but I'm going to add it anyway since I plan to use the tea pretty quickly.

Questo universo è composto di due mondi paralleli che si specchiano l'uno nell'altro.

Il primo è il mondo degli umani, quello che noi conosciamo, Assiah.

Il secondo è il regno dei demoni, Gehenna. Normalmente passare da un mondo all'altro è impossibile,

tuttavia alcuni demoni sono in grado di attraversare il confine e possedere gli esseri umani.

Satana, il signore dei demoni ha tutto ciò che vuole alla sua portata,

tranne una cosa, presente solo nel regno degli umani.

Allo scopo di recuperarla ha creato Rin, suo figlio da una donna umana.

Ma Rin accetterà i piani del padre o preferirà fare di testa sua,

diventando magari ... un esorcista?

Made this temporary semicircular bin out of chicken wire for composting a large amount of leaves into "leaf mold"...both to recycle the leaves and to kill the grass underneath for planting into in the spring of 2012. Hope to have it filled to the top in the next week or so.
