This afternoon, they were gathering compost and this gardener was standing on top of it. You can see the heat and smoke.

A gray catbird rests on our compost bin.

From the inside after holes were drilled.

Tip from the garden lady in our local newspaper.

Compost bin with comfrey plant. Read more about my garden on my blog greenfoot.com.au/

As part of my work at the Andes Sprouts Society Residency I placed compost worms on top of a medium of sand and clay slip. This is part of a video that documents patterns of movement in these amazing creatures. After observing their movement for several days I started a collaboration with the composting worms in creating abstract art.

Ben is about to start another round of his fabulous compost workshops in Wanaka and Queenstown, funded by Queenstown Lakes District Council.

I've just shot these portraits of him to be used in our marketing of these workshops. You could say I'm rather pleased with the results. I'm very much enjoying shooting portraits at the moment, I just need people who want their photos taken......know anyone? Tell them to get in touch.

CUSO co-operant Nicolas Parenteau and Mekong School volunteer Jeremy Mak build a compost heap on a vegetable bed on the model organic farm.

Nicolas was killed in a motorcycle accident on Feb 22, 2008 in Chiang Mai. He was working with NEED-Burma on integrating their traditional farming practices with newer sustainable agriculture theory. This series is dedicated to his memory.

"This low maintenance mouldering toilet, built in 2001 by a Home Design/Build class, is based on the Gap Mountain Permaculture design. The toilet features two separate lined concrete block bins. Only one bin is operational at a time, allowing the other bin’s waste to settle, decompose, and become usable compost, also known as “humanure.” "

It's really nice and airy inside. The raised roof design makes you feel like, well, like you're not inside a toilet.

Ok, here is the completed project. Well, I have to clean it up a lot. The concrete/mortar smears should come off in the morning with a hose and a stiff brush. (I hope!)

I "The Last Standing" si esibiranno insieme al "Lean On Me Gospel Choir", diretto da Lucrezia Balatri e composto da più di trenta artisti. La band cittadina invece è formata da sette membri: Michele Malavenda alla batteria, Maurizio Spampani all'organo Hammond, Lorenzo Canducci al pianoforte, Enrico Mirandi al contrabbasso, Mirco Vannucchi alla chitarra d'accompagnamento, Daniele Capecchi alla chitarra solista e, dulcis in fundo, la cantante Stefania Russo. Il gruppo, nato nel 2008 dalle ceneri della "Jam Session Band", che pure si esibì al Pistoia Blues nel 1997,presenta sonorità country unite a note blues in un mix molto particolare e coinvolgente.

Nothing left !

It's almost done. If this batch looks a little bloated to you, it is! I usually open the container during sunny days to dry the batch since I do not have drainage holes. But one time I forgot to close it and the next morning it was filled with rain water! Arrggg. So there is still decay going on because every day air bubbles are formed as part of the decayed process and pushes the lighter samples up. I try to mix this batch as soon as possible. Eventually this will dry down and it can be sieved and used! Ahhh...compost magic.

So I guess when Pep$i began green washing their sun chips brand with compostable bags, they meant "compostable*," not compostable. This is after a month and a half in a regularly rotated Envirocycle composter. I'll check again in another few months.

I know kitchen scraps are not a pretty thing to look at, but so important for the compost bin.
