J'ai percé des trous de 6 mm au fond de cette boite qui accueillera les premiers locataires. Elle leur permettra de migrer d'un étage à un autre mais permettra également au jus de compost de couler dans le premier étage : le bac du fond.
Ok, here is my attempt at kitchen composting. Hopefully I am doing it right. Saving kitchen scraps- I know the list of what not to add. I am adding shredded paper and a sprinkling of potting soil. Sound ok?
Sadly our compost bin got burnt a few weekends ago, more or less destroying the bin and damaging a lot of the trees around it :(

My wife wanted a way to sift the large chunks out of the compost so we made this with stuff we had in the garage. The only thing we bought was the mesh.
Fungi in my Compost Bin. I had in that compost bin, rotting Malay Apples, small tropical fruit. These fungi were growing and I actually had my head in this bin to get these closeups. It sounds gross but they are small and I had to get close to get the macros, and the bin did not smell. LOL. A few more of these can be seen in this SET:- www.flickr.com/photos/25747229@N00/sets/72157594504333027/
Compost bin and bench at the end of my allotment. Behind the bench lies a bed of nettles and Wotton Brook. Across the brook is the university sports field, regular training ground of local football team Forest Green Rovers.
Spreading my homemade compost so my trees-n-bushes can stay cool and damp all summer.

compostables are nestled between two layers of netting. items break down over time and feed plants at base. I'm guessing that I could eventually put plants into the fence!
My family keeps a compost bin for all organic waste materials to be stored for their breakdown into components that enrich the soil. The detritus or dead leaves, plants, rotting wood, and food scraps are combined with detritovores -- microbes and worms -- that process compost into the nutrient rich soil base. My dad comments that this is a poor example of an active compost bin and that it should be more closely monitored in order to control the amount of water inputted by the wet grass and other plant matter he adds later. The mixture needs to be turned regularly so that oxygen can help speed up the decomposition process. Oxidation helps to break the bonds by the loss of electrons that also precipitate into water vapor in the bin. The worms, fungi, and aerobic bacteria manage the chemical process of converting the organic material into nitrates easily absorbed by the soil. I much rather the mushroom compost that he buys from the organic farmer down the street. That compost is layered into a box made of redwood trees and mushrooms are grown on the top to affect the same decomposition process. In the end, the mushroom compost turns out a dark black, nutrient rich soil that is wonderful for fruit trees. And the redwood boxes are shredded into bark and scattered around the base of trees to help block out the sun and prevent the growth of weeds.
Down the road a bit from the GRuB farm is Sunset Park, where GRuB created a large garden with raised beds for the apartment building across the street. Photo by Leslie Hatfield
