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.
Basically three steps,
1. Put included plastic grate to divide solid and liquid waste
2. Coat grate with layer of Bokashi
3. Cut up food scraps
4. Cover with Bokashi
5. Cover
One point of confusion, you are supposed to have a "plastic, cardboard or stainless steel barrier to prevent the new food's contact with the air in the bucket. They suggest a pizza box (which I didn't have). I found a paper plate that only covers about 3/4 of the compost.

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.
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.

Composting….who does it and why?
I know who compost. Gardeners do, that’s who. To a gardener, compost is black gold. Compost is used to...
After three weeks in the first composter, the compost is moved here where special worms turn the remnants of fruits, vegetables, and bones into dirt.
If you've failed to hear back from me in the past month, this is why! My phone went missing, and I was flummoxed. Where had it gone?
Yesterday it emerged, zombie like, from the depths of the compost bin, as I used the compost corkscrew aerator thing to give it a turn.
It gave me a shock, like finding a human skull or something.
Anyway, the phone is well and truly kaput, but the sim card still works! So I put it in a fresh new body and I'm back on the blower, folks!
Two days after I made a compost heap out of old yew shrubs, sawdust and chicken manure the Tel-Tru thermometer indicates that all is well inside the pile.
in september my friend Ciara had her own art exhibition on the northside. the principle feature was two rooms covered in compost collected from seven(?) different areas of the country. this was accompanied by a few large prints of highly processed digital b&w photos, as well as smaller prints along the same lines scattered on the ground. there were also a few audio recordings embedded around the room, but at the opening they were a little hard to hear!
the viewer was invited to don shoe protectors and walk about. it was very nice -- earth indoors.
