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.
Home made compost tumbler.
I made it from things I had at home. The barrel was free from a dairy and I had the hardware for about 20 years. I save everything thats of value, and my value system is probably different than most.
So my wife say's
Terra Nova Rural Nature Park,
Thompson, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.
Terra Nova means 'New Land' in Latin. The land was first used as a grounds for hunting, fishing, and housing by the Musqueam First Nations people. This area was later claimed by European migrants as the area of Richmond was among the earlier Crown Grant subdivisions. Both groups of people contribute to this rural landscape's agricultural and fishing history.
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!
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.
So what do we do with the green-waste we’ve just shredded and screened? Pile it up nice and high!!! I took this picture a while back of the massive compost mountain which I used to see on each visit to Kimbriki tip. I don’t know if this is the local northern beaches stockpile awaiting use or if this is the storage solution until they get into processing the material. Maybe this is their idea of windrow composting? Just one massive pile containing a few hundred tonnes of green-waste haha I imagine they’d achieve this mountain as a result of the processing equipment ejecting and shooting the material up to the top, just like a mulcher does, but with more force in this case. With the steep angle, it looks like an excavator or loader would’ve flipped and rolled back onto itself until it hit the bottom. Haven’t been to Kimbriki in a while, but I’m sure this is still an icon for the green-waste drop-off area.
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.
wheelbase: 2015mm/79.5"
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.
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.
I built this compost bin with some special brackets I bought from Lee Valley, and some cedar fence boards I bought from a lumber yard.
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!

When the worm compost turned 6 months we celebrated with this! under is a mousse of soy cream cheese, soy vanilla pudding and chocolate, the "top soil" is chocolate and crushed cookies... And finally the worms are made from agar agar, water and raspberry jam, poured into straws. After a few hours in the fridge... voila'! WORMS.
Yard compost angles around the shed. There are three sections and each year each section gets rotated to a new section or used in the garden.
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.
I find compost very pretty: the colours, the stratification, the juxtaposition of food stuffs. It's like a dietary diary (except the grass, that's from the rabbits).
We have been successfully composting kitchen wastes for two years now and are very happy that we don't have a lot of garbage to throw out to the daily waste collector!
The pots are from Daily Dump, Bangalore. If you do have a bit of yard space, do consider trying this. It really is not difficult or time consuming at all.
We segregate 'Dry Waste' (plastics, paper, glass etc for recycling) and 'Wet Waste' (Vegetable peels, food, waste from cleaning the floors etc). The Dry waste needs to be given only once a week. and the wet waste comes to hardly a mug full, that I really don't need a plastic cover to dump that. I just line my waste bin with a newspaper, just so that it doesn't get messy.
Update December 2010:
Still composting at home and now cannot think of any other way! :)
