My compost tumbler. (15 years old too)

Our new compost bin. Lurking in the garden like a watchful dalek.

The previous owners of the house had left, among other things, a sheet of wire screening. Using a couple of twist ties, I turned it into a pretty decent compost sifter

Here is the compost of this page 3 months after ...

Just a small sample of the 1000's of tiny springtails congregating in the upper regions of my compost bin.

A view of my compost piles. The raspberries got ahead of me this year so there's no room to feed the far end. I generally have 3 adjacent piles, 3 feet wide, side by side. The far end in this photo is the active end, shaped by plastic-coated wire on PVC pipe-fence posts. the nearer end has a wooden shipping pallet as a back wall.

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.

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.

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.

so far the worm farm is multiplying and seems pretty healthy. soon enough there should be enough of them to be able to keep up with all our waste.

The four-bin compost pile has compost at various stages of decomposition. Moveable signs hung on the front of each bin tell which stage the compost in that bin has reached.

Acacia and Calliandra branches tied and dried to make compost.

Vegetables grow so much better with compost added to the soil. Here is a good-sized bin ready for a pile of weeds, straw and leaves. Turning it every two weeks can turn it into usable humus in about two months. The English Lavender in front is just about ready to bloom.

Built a compost heap containment device out of lumber from the "junk barn". Old fencing, decking, gates and pallets make up the lumber used. Added a yee haa horseshoe for effect.
