The frame of recycled cedar posts stacked on concrete pavers to keep the wood off the ground.
Coming together: more salvaged and recycled cedar. Former deck stairs create the base. We could have parked our deck chairs right there, it's so sturdy!
Hardware cloth on; first bin complete!
Complete! New metal roof, and compost curing in its new home.
The finished product!
Here is a step by step example of a compost bin !

Turning over the compost, adding mulch, hay, and water. Plenitud eco farm, near Las Marias, western Puerto Rico.
getting them out of their "jar" was hardest for me... put them on the opposite side as the pre-existing compost, and covered them with the newspaper, too!
So what's a "compost toilet"??? Just think of it as a "kitty litter box" :-)
Compost toilets have many environmental and financial advantages: they help conserve water, they help reduce the possibility of sewage or groundwater pollution, they eliminate the costs associated with maintaining sewers and septic systems, and their end product is actually beneficial for the environment (compost) instead of polluting.
My hubby's mom lives with us and she enjoys helping in the yard. Here she is having a lovely time watering. A nice Sunday afternoon.
Notice my nice big pile of yard compost in the back. Almost as big as she is. HA.
Compost fly - Scatopse sp. Think it must have recently emerged as the wings are not full length yet. Focus stacked using zerene
CUSO co-operant Nicolas Parenteau and Mekong School volunteer Jeremy Mak gather compost material from organic waste on the grounds of the Mekong School, near to the NEED Burma compound.
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.
Totally accidental example that high ISO does not stop you getting detail in a shot. Shot at ISO 800.

The harvesting area. A discovered a rich area of soil with almost no debris in the bottom right of the picture (as noted).
Not the best photo, but an amazing cake. All that wonderful edible stuff on top was created by Seah.
This is the leftover after day one of juicing. (Mostly carrots, but also some beets, kale, ginger and cucumber.)
Cate has a very good juicing machine that extracts all of the juice/moisture from the fruit or vegetable and you are left with the dry remains of the original product.. I had been thinking of starting a compost pile, so I am going to save this and read up about compost piles.
I have ambitious plans for my yard next year.
(And yes, I cut my hair short last Friday.)
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.

One of my resolutions this year was to help my compost to decay faster and have scissors by my small kitchen bin. When I canned the pineapple, I IMMEDIATELY cut up the skins and leaves.
The next step was to add a little dog food to my bigger outside porch compost bin (not all of the dog food in the bowl). This apparently helps the compost to decay faster (my goal).
For our test garden, we upgraded from a 1-compost bin system to a 3-compost bin system. Photo by Andrew of www.gardenerd.com, where you can get more info.
Working at the Superb Soil Station we teach our group of second graders the difference between dirt and soil and they get to dig in the compost pile!
What a great idea a compost bin is; your garden cuttings and vegetable matter from the kitchen are turned into compost for the garden... sadly the bin is like a supermarket for rats!
We decided to get rid of ours after our neighbour found our stuff across her garden and then the tunnels under the fence and up into the bin. So it has to go!!!
