"This napkin will compost to grow produce for your next pizza."
At Hot Italian, in Emeryville. Next to an excellent aquilani salad made from arugula, kabocha squash, pumpkin seeds, pomegranates, and walnuts.
I made sure my napkin ended up in a compost bin at the pizza farm.
The processed green waste is either used as garden mulch or composted at Shoal Bay Waste Disposal Site, Darwin, Northern Territory.
Benefits of topdressing with compost:
* Improves the soil structure, porosity, and density, thus creating a better plant root environment.
* Increases infiltration and permeability of heavy soils, thus reducing erosion and runoff.
* Improves water holding capacity, thus reducing water loss and leaching in sandy soils.
* Supplies a variety of macro micronutrients.
* May control or suppress certain soil-borne plant pathogens.
* Supplies significant quantities of organic matter.
* Improves cation exhange capacity (CEC) of soils and growing media, thus improving their ability to hold nutrients for plant use.
* Supplies beneficial microorganisms to soils and growing media.
* Improves and stabilizes soil pH.
* Can bind and degrade specific pollutants.
Wendy and I bartered for a rolling composter last summer. I really
like how easy it is to turn the composter. Sadly, this device has a
lot of holes in it and chunks of compost have been falling on the
ground when we spin it. I tried to repair the most damage section
today with some aluminum flashing. The flashing has a nice clean look
and is easy enough to drill and bolt over the damaged composter.

Illustration for a magazine article about composting. I don't think the article's come out yet or I'd post a link... composting is so cool!
Various ingredients in the compost pile, pictured here are egg shells, coffee grounds, dry banana tree leaves, grass clippings and spent roses

Cardboard rolls from bathroom tissue and paper towels on their way to the composter. With most of the compost additions being nitrogen rich kitchen scraps this time of year the addition of carbon paper rolls balances out the mix. (In warmer months dried leaves are usually added to the compost)
