My mom gave me a composter for Christmas!

Essential. Termites eat the humus content, and the soil is very sandy and does not retain moisture.

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!

Leaves, kitchen waste, weeds and shredded prunings from shrubs are the main ingredients, plus shredded paper waste.

"Here I am composting my carrot peels. Composting helps me fertilize my garden. It keeps what I grow organic, and I do not have to buy commercial fertilizers. It also keeps compostable material out of the landfill, which is actually harmful (gas pockets in the landfill are not good)"

For Earth Month 2012, Green Mountain Energy employees are sharing photos of how they live green each and every day. Both at work and at home, we all try to reduce our daily environmental impact in various ways. Here's a glimpse into how our employees are living green - and tips on what you can do to reduce your impact, too!

Be assured that the boots stayed on the veranda.

You can build a compost bin from almost anything. We made this one from a simple storage bin.

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.

Time to remove the composted waste from the toilets. A surprisingly un-smelly job!

I am currently in residence at the Andes Sprouts Society artist's program in Stamford, New York. the goal of my residency is to combine science, art, and sustainable farming. I am working with compost worms to learn the movement, interactions, and ecology of this amazing animals. As an artist in residence I am creating paintings in collaboration with the worms. This detail, from a picture that is 11x14 inches, is an example of the work. I hope you enjoy it.
