after thinking I had totally failed at the first compost batch I ignored it for a couple months and then it did its cool compost thing and it looks great! ah the magic of compost
This is a Jack's Solar Composter, manufactured by a company in Vermont. It's about 3' tall and 2' wide. the barrel is mounted on pressure treated wood and spins on a bar through the center. The barrel appears to have been a Greek olive oil barrel.
Our small composting pots give us new dirt in about 6 months here in Oman, though they are not quite hot enough to kill all the seeds and we end up with surprise gardens!
Humble Hands Harvest transports compost from a large pile to their garden while planting vegetables in May 2023.
Part of the Iowa State University (ISU) farm - as soon as I saw these buildings I knew I had to come back with a camera
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!!!
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!
ACTIVE ASSIGNMENT WEEKLY: MAY MONTHLY ASSIGNMENT - BREAKING COMPOSITIONAL RULES
The “Rules of Composition” can be essential in creating a beautiful photograph and can set them apart from an ordinary snapshot, but beautiful photographs can be made creatively without them as well (I know that some of us are still trying so hard to remember these as we shoot). This assignment is to challenge you to focus on at least one “rule” and break it; break it blatantly if you will. We thought of this idea the other night, and low and behold – there’s a group for just that here on Flickr (actually, more than just one!) - take a look for inspiration, if nothing else. www.flickr.com/groups/1271834@N25/
So, For the ASSIGNMENT: To keep this simpler, let’s look at only two specific ‘rules’ to be broken (you can break the both rules in the same photo, or each one on two separate photos).
#1 Rule to be broken: Follow the “rule of thirds”
Break: Vary composition. Respond emotionally
#2 Rule to be broken: Keep camera level with the horizon
Break: Create your own horizons.
DARE: Try to break both in a single shot.
RESTRICTION: No setup shots and minimal cropping and/or rotating in post processing. We want to see how you saw it when you snapped the shutter.
WIT: Visited a community garden. I really liked the red house in the background as a setting for these haphazardly constructed composting bins. No cropping, but tweaked contrast, desaturated a bit and added sepia filter in PSE.
Lobsang taking a break after his hard work. The idea is that the sun heats the black plates and pipes at the back of the toilet which helps the waste mixed with saw dust and ash to turn into compost after a couple of years. Hot air rising up the ventilation pipes sucks in cold air through the frount and helps to reduce the smell from this type of toilet.
