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.

There are 2 cans because I am a LAZY composter! Once you fill one of them up, you start filling up the 2nd one. By the time the 2nd one's full, the 1st has turned into lovely compost without any extra effort on your part. Or, at least, that's the theory.

Extractor uses water and air to concentrate living biology in compost into liquid that can be used in sprayers, seeders, and other equipment to jump start soil biology. Kailee Calnan, NRCS supervisory district conservationist, learns about the process.

Transferring our compost to a new bin on Jon's day off (also known as the National Trusts Great Green Leap Day). This heap was started in March 2007.
The last lot of compost has been in the middle bin for ages.I think i first made the heap at Christmas time, but it did not heat up and rot, so i had to re-build and water the heap in spring.
It has rotted quite well now and is starting to get worms in it.
Its time to turn it into the bin on the left.
We have tried to grow pumpkins and they have always failed. However, we have had major successes with rogue pumpkins planted by no one! they have come up all over the lawn without warning or provocation.

A neighbor's discarded swimming pool wall, recycled into a composter. The white steel frame once held my fuel oil tank. The heavy gauge aluminum is in its third life - first at the DuPont factory where a former owner of my home worked, then as draft-stoppers under my house, and now cut into strips to hold the composter together.

Leftover, spoiled fruits and vegetables end on the compost heap, to eventually become nourishment for a new generation.
Compost heaps that are 3-4 months old. The heaps are full of active red worms that break down the soil. The pipes and sprinklers are for watering, in order to maintain the level of moisture that the worms require to survive.
And here's a better view of the compost pile. The large amount of coffee grounds we were able to add (thanks Aaron!) have made a huge difference.
