the good thing about Leeds is it has some great strips of urban woodland (if that's not a contradiction?) everywhere i've lived over the last three years has had some woods near it

the remains of my compost heap

The leftover remains of the original compost heap. I think I'll build a raised bed here, since the soil will be so abundant with nutrients! (Oh yeah, and Bit posing nicely again).

Rotting compost decomposing in the bin

A happy accident: some kidney beans gone bad were thrown in the compost and a little garden of sprouts arose from the muck.

 

I'm planning on replanting these in the hydroponic system.

Made what I call "compost salad" to add to the bin... Cleared out the fridge and fruit bowl of old produce.

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.

One of the natural composts piles we use to keep yard debris and kitchen scraps out of landfills. Looks like a seed took to the setting...

compostables are nestled between two layers of netting. items break down over time and feed plants at base. I'm guessing that I could eventually put plants into the fence!

A simple check for compost moisture is as follows.

Grab a hand full and squeeze it as hard as you can. If water comes dripping out it is likely that the pile is too wet. If no water appears at all the pile is too dry.

If you squeeze and a bit of water appears between the cracks of your fingers the moisture content is just right.

Notice in this picture the moisture between the pinky and ring fingers. Just below the middle finger is a bit more water. This pile is just right.
