Erica Jane Meier, agriculture education graduate, records temperature data from a compost mound on Mueller farm.
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.

I made this piece for the wlyb (e)motive exhibition 2010. It is made from piles of identical recycled postcards that I put in the compost bin for 6 months.
I have a confession to make:
I often catch myself admiring the beauty of a bowl of compost on its way out to the bin. In late March, I found myself with lots of fresh flowers heading out to compost, and I couldn't help but photograph them along the way. Forgive me.
Ecologically minded volunteers built this compost toilet in partnership with the indigenous people. Previously, the forest was their toilet

100 billion items of clothing are produced each year, three out of five fast fashion garments end up in a landfill within a year of purchase after being worn only an average of 7 times.
We urgently need a drastic change in our collective mindset and consumption habits. This speculative project looks at an unconventional intervention–designing clothes that are appropriate for this amount of wear: compostable clothes. These pieces are made of fortified paper, last 1-7 wears, and embrace their disposability. They are backyard compostable and can be broken down in 3-8 weeks depending on composting conditions.
