We turn compost weekly so made it into a workshop so those that want to learn hands-on can attend.

Because of the inherant mess, shredded paper is usually discouraged from curbside recycling. I use the shred to line the bottom of my kitchen compost bucket, all the wet stuff and liquids that would normally start the smelly process of anaerobic bacterial action are absobed. The odor and mess are reduced and when the pail is emptied the shred breads down quiet readily.

This is the side of my compost heap. As the compost thermometer shows, it's way too damn cold for the aerobic bacteria to be active. I found out recently that the stuff that looks like clover is something else. This is sad, as clover is a nitrogen fixer, and this stuff isn't.

Malin Hanson from the University of Regina gave a very informative seminar to about two dozen people on the topic of composting.

These are all the weeds and thatch just from the front yard. Will have to do a second compost pile just for the backyard, obviously.

This is about the 4th layer on my new compost pile. I actually have enough leaves and other "brown" material in my backyard, that I tihnk I will have ablanced compost pile.

 

The broken refrigerator and the byproducts from juicing gave me a good head start on the "green" material. (They are buried on the lower levels already

 

Any tips will be appreciated.

He was just sittin' there on the composting guides!

The leg swings inward because it has play dampened by a couple of rubber plumbing washers. Someone gave me a bag of those and I have found many uses for them in tricky attachment problems.

My aloe plant has not been doing very well since I composted this page, so I dug it up and separated it again. This is what's left of the page! I left the remaining pieces in there :)
