We installed the second compost bin this morning next to the garden to alternate use each year. We're doing that because each Spring we can't pull out the previous season's compost from underneath a winter's worth of additional uncomposted compost.
Even when we use the bottom side doors, the uncomposted material on top (that didn't compost over the Winter because it was too cold) falls down and blocks access.
If the Fall, we'll switch to filling up the other bin. That should allow us to completely empty the previous season's compost bin when Spring comes.
I wanted to test how compostable this "compostable" bag really was. I put it in my worm bin for 4.5 months (enough time for all of the vegetable matter to be fully broken down).
This is what the bag looked like before composting.

We have 6 compost bins 5 feet square. When this one gets full, it will be time for DH to spread the contents of the oldest bin on the garden and then turn each bin into the newly emptied bin next to it. Having a big, strong hubby does come in handy!
Our first tumbler composter has served us well, but can no longer
perform the duties we require of it. We broke down and bought a
replacement off ebay. These are spendy at $300, but they do such a
amazing job. I was certainly tempted to roll my own with that kind of
price tag. Sometimes it is nice just to have something that you know
works. Assembling this device took us a good ninety minutes. I don't
really want to spend two days building one from the ground up.
It was really rainy that is why the picture looks so noisy. Here is layered compost in a manure spreader.
My neighbors have always been interesting people. I was walking by one fall, and my neighbor had covered himself with mud and leaves, trying not to be seen. Best viewed Large
And for the Fear group: Fear of mellow, that I'll ripen and then rot.
Fungi in my Compost Bin. I had in that compost bin, rotting Malay Apples, small tropical fruit. These fungi were growing and I actually had my head in this bin to get these closeups. It sounds gross but they are small and I had to get close to get the macros, and the bin did not smell. LOL. A few more of these can be seen in this SET:- www.flickr.com/photos/25747229@N00/sets/72157594504333027/

When out kitchen scrap bucket (in our kitchen) is filled, we empty it outside in the compost bin. This is what we had today.
We eat a lot of fruit, veggies, and eggs on the GAPS diet . . . this 5 gallon bucket makes trips to the compost tumbler less frequent.
There were two of these on the lid of my compost bin, only emptied earlier in the day. About the size of ladybirds I don't know the species, there are a vast number of these, beetles being one of the most successful insect families.

Ingredienti
250 g circa petti di tacchino [ricetta orig: 140 g petti di pollo + 4 cosce di pollo]
g 140 composta di fichi fioroni [ricetta orig: confettura di fichi]
g 120 panna fresca
g 60 brodo vegetale
prezzemolo [ricetta orig: maggiorana]
olio extravergine d'oliva
sale e pepe
4 fette di pane [ricetta orig: g 200 focaccia]
Preparazione
Ridurre a dadini circa 140 g di tacchino e passarlo al mixer con la panna, una presa di sale e un pizzico di pepe. Infine, mescolare al composto g 80 di composta di fichi. Aprire il rimanente petto di tacchino [ricetta originale: disossare le cosce di pollo], porlo tra due fogli di pellicola e spianarlo delicatamente con il batticarne. Eliminare la pellicola, ricavarne dei quadrati e spianarli delicatamente con il batticarne. Eliminare la pellicola e stendere su ciascuna di essi g 10 di confettura di fichi. Spalmare poi con il composto mixato, arrotolare, avvolgere in un doppio foglio di pellicola, chiudere a caramella alle estremità e bucherellare qua e là con una forchetta. Tuffare i cilindri in brodo vegetale bollente e lasciarli lessare, a fiamma dolce, per 18-20' circa. Una volta cotti, eliminare la pellicola e farli dorare in padella in un filo di olio. Lasciarli intiepidire, quindi affettarli, profumarli con qualche fogliolina di prezzemolo (maggiorana) e servirli, tiepidi, su fette sottili di pane [ricetta orig. focaccia] tranciate con un coppa pasta, leggermente bruschettate e lucidate con olio aromatizzato al prezzemolo (o alla maggiorana).

Despite the recent freezing temperatures at night, the garden compost is holding steady at a toasty 97 degrees. The orchard compost is about 80. We're working on that. The temps have me thinking more about the outdoor shower.

Vince digs out about 15 gallons of rich, black compost for the garden. We're going to try two bins starting this Fall and stop filling the one we want to empty in the spring. Read more
And now you know how to write compost in Hindi (unless that's Konkanee - it's never totally clear to us what language(s) are being used at SwiftWash).
