A drawing I've made for May issue of the poster zine Composter. I'm playing with lots of naturalistic themes lately and this also serves as a preview of things to come.
Some old apples on a compost pile.

Northern Black Racer - Coluber constrictor ssp. constrictor
Location: Durham NC (USA)
I was startled to find this large racer when I opened the compost bin. I returned with my phone and a camera. Got a couple of phone shots, but the snake dove out through one of the ventilation slots when I tried to lean in for a nice macro with the camera. Oh well.
A photo of our home composting bin. I built this last fall out of mostly scrap materials we had in our garage. The side panels are roughly 36" X 36". California composting can be difficult because it is so dry here...but the rains of late have been helpful in getting this compost to "kick" and it is finally getting hot.
The cold compost method will produce compost in one to two years. Hot composting takes only three to six months. Photo by Tiffany Woods.
Great Dixters compost heap is the biggest I've seen, although I believe Kew Gardens claim to have the biggest! This one however was complete with growing marrows. I would love to size the size of the marrows when they are ready!
With all the wet weather recently the springtails have been out in force. I found this Dicrytomina saundersi on top of the compost bin.

From weeds and leaves to next year's dirt. I recently moved this in order for it to catch more sun, it's working quite a bit better.
a charming little wood mouse stocking up on seeds from our compost heap - note I'm using the 100mm macro lens - I was about 2-3 feet away, and it wasn't concerned at all. More to follow ;D
Our garden, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, UK
I have lots of home made compost at the moment.
Something quite nice about putting it to good use.
This stuff was for mulching Autumn fruiting raspberries.

It's long. I switched the tires out for fatter ones, added a steering dampener to help with unloaded riding, and found a matching set of XT topmount shifters from the 90's at the Bike Church.

Quebecers will have to get used to the presence of a third recycle bin which will be designed to collect organic materials such as grass and leaves, but leftovers.
Rotted debris from passenger rear corner. When the rear was leaks, theater gets trapped by the rear wall's seal bottom. The water cannot drain, so it saturates the 2X4 and rots it from the top.
From the compost bin with large earthworms, pulled out some of the non-native 'assistants' to the worms. The snails eat a lot and help keep the balance for the worms. All local material the awl snail has made a home.
With festival season almost upon us we were invited down to Somerset to paint as many boards as we could handle in a weekend for the nice folks at Pootopia. They have hundreds of compostable toilets and are beautifying them with some artwork on boards which fit into the toilet doors. Which is where we come in. After jumping in the id-iomobile and heading West into the setting sun we arrived late so got to work early Saturday morning and set ourselves a somewhat ambitious target of completing 40 boards over the weekend. Despite working just about as hard as we could we only managed a final tally of 32 completed boards (with 7 left just as backgrounds and one MIA). Not too shabby if i say so myself. The hard part was trying to make it so they didn't all look too similar.
It was somewhat manic and we didn't finish till 9pm on Sunday but here's one of our wallpaper style designs on a nice shiny gold with some skulls...
Cheers

20191011_1377_7D2-50 Compost Bins
At the start of this day the bin on the right did not exist. The bin on the left was my old bin #3, built about six months ago (in autumn/fall) and was full to 1m high.
We have decided to put a 3m x 3m garden shed behind the garage (to store some of my son's stuff) and therefore the old compost bins 1 and 2 (built about a year ago) have to be moved, as well as the 1,000 litre water tank that collects rainwater from the garage roof. It will go in part of the space vacated by old bin #2.
Therefore old bin #3 (on the left) is now new bin #1, there is a new bin #2 (now with the contents of old #3/new #1) and the third bin is yet to be built.
Each bin is approximately 1.2m wide x 1m deep and up to 1m high, so today I built bin #2 and shifted 1.2 cubic metres of compost, as well as looking after the two grand kids for the last day of the school holidays. Term 4 starts on Monday!

I've been saving vegetable and fruit scraps all week to bring to my friends' house to put in their compost pile. I'm not always so good about that, but somehow having to pinch my pennies makes me much more cognizant of getting the most out of the food.
The Flickr Lounge-Container(s)
I put all the recyclable kitchen food items in this and it gets dumped into our large compost pile in the backyard by the Hoop House.
Composting is a form of waste disposal where organic waste decomposes naturally under oxygen-rich conditions. ... In addition to food waste, yard waste, such as grass clippings and leaves, can also be added to compost containers. These items will help increase decomposition and help reduce odor as materials break down.
