The first freshly cut lawn of the year is in place to compost

Rotten pumpkin with a toupee in the compost bin.

Yes, that's a huge tomato plant growing out of the doorway of my composter. And, yes, it's doing better than any other plant over in my proper garden. Well it should, with all that nutrient-rich compost around its root system! August 2011.

Day 342: This didn't quite turn out how I wanted, but it is what I have ;)

When the bin is closed it still allows some moisture and yet retains enough heat to process the content and to keep the bugs and worms nice and toasty. Do your thing little critters!

Sustainable Seattle's role in the event was to get it as close as possible to zero-waste, by providing compost and recycling facilities, and staffing them to get people to throw things in the right bin.

Cedar. From This Old House plan. A bit too small, and crooked. Donated to neighbor.

our radishes were tough, so they were grated before being added to a radish cream soup. note grating hand.

This is one of their compost heaps. MAN DID IT SMELL. They fertilise their fields with this stuff, and also with several thousand tonnes of cattle manure (some from their own dairy farm!) each year.

Vous pouvez placer directement vos résidus alimentaires acceptés dans le bac de cuisine, puis le vider dans le bac brun.

 

Vous pouvez y déposer des résidus alimentaires crus ou cuits, les résidus de papier et carton souillés et d'autres résidus comme la cendre froide, les cheveux et les sacs compostables.

The compost begins with the base frame. Everything is PT wood and outdoor rated deck screws. It will be heavy but should last many, many years.

This is our compost tumbler which gets heated by the sun to breakdown kitchen waste faster. Our next project will be to build a large box compost bin to break down yard waste.

Black plastic bin-from the local tip shop-with the bottom cut out.Filled with layers of straw ,horse poo and food scraps.The apple tree is watered through this mix and from the size of its first apples seems to be enjoying it.In really hot weather I cover it with a wet woolen blanket to protect the worms.

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.

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

I bought one of these bins when I used to live in Colorado and it worked very well. I left it there when I moved but I would definitely get one again next time I buy a compost bin.

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...
