Our homemade compost heap for the new house.

I've been digging out the compost heap. Maybe I'm a bit odd, but this is probably my favourite task. And the compost is on top form this time - I don't think I've ever made better.

I am loving compost more and more and was sooo excited to see these giant steaming piles decomposing before our very eyes!! Great stuff.

Soil improvement is an important part of the program

Homemade compost bin made from wood found in our 19th century barn.

Initial dumping of tub, before sorting/sifting.

this is what happens when no one empties the compost bucket for 8 months. STINK!

We served up all of the food that we canned throughout the evening of The Last Supper (http://www.lambastic.com). Sadly the compost bucket only worked for the first hour, as the night wore on more and more people dropped plastic cups and knives into it, even the ever-vigilant eye of our compost patrol was powerless against the masses.

Composter lid before repair. Notice that excessive use of tape made

little difference.

I mashed about in the back yard & woods, then decided to turn the big compost pile. Added stuff from to small bins. Inner core steaming! Wow!

I didn't turn my compost at all last winter and it froze. I'm gonna keep turning this winter to have garden compost early spring :)

Really something to see what looks like a pile of snow, is actually food & leaf waste breaking down to essential elements, high nutrient dirt.

No compost around the trunk!!!

The annual compost pile sort. God, I hate this job! Funny how an entire year of chucking kitchen scraps and garden/lawn cuttings into the composter only gave me one lousy garbage can full of black dirt! After the soggy mess dried in the sun a bit, the stuff that wasn't quite soil, yet, went back into the composter for another year....along with a couple of pounds of worms!

Testing our new composting bin.

Wendy put this pallet based composting bin together in a few minutes

today. We will have a good deal of weeds and leaves to deal with this

year so why not turn them into soil.

Hubby empties the compost bins and I spread it around the garden. Talk about a good cardio workout!

i have no idea what kind of squash these are, but the seeds didn't die in the compost.
