Our compost bins are filled to the brim... mostly with all the fallen leaves from our garden and from my brother's humungous Planetree
With the overgrown grass mown in most of the garden, it's time for stage two. There is a large, old compost pile in one of the far corners of the property. The compost wasn't maintained properly. So I'm layering it with the new grass and hay so it can build up heat, kill the seeds from the hay, and decompose properly. 1.5 piles of give or take 5 is done. At some point, I'll have to turn them all again. but we're hoping for high-quality nutrition for next year's crops.
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 bins sitting side by side, flanked by two free-ranging hens looking for insects. The symmetry of this image still amuses me.

I'm not sure exactly why, but composting is kind of exciting. My bin now has an earthworm! It could be multiple earthworms, but I only see one at a time...
Repost @dart_humanitarian_engineering: Our Compost Tea team presented their project and business model in Washington, DC this weekend and were honored to be selected as national finalists for the Global Grand Challenge. The project aims to roll out sustainable urban agriculture solutions in Quito, Ecuador over the next two years. We are so grateful for this experience and opportunity to meet other engineers making change, and the feedback we’ve gained has been invaluable. Next week, we find out if we have been selected to go to London for the Global finals—two out of four finalists will advance!
On November 1, 2014, one day after Halloween, a group (I have since forgotten the name) or organization was hosting an event in Rotary Park in Saskatoon where participants could bring their carved pumpkins to show off. All pumpkins would eventually be composted. Here, my best friend is lighting 'candles' (LED lights).

Some cantaloupe remains tossed into the compost pile last winter produced these cantaloupe vines. Unfortunately, the horrendous drought we've been suffering has stymied the growth lately. (Added by NM.)
This is the new old pile. Old new pile? Whatever, it's the oldest stuff I have. Well into stage 2 or 3
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.
