"Composting in the City? Yes We Can!"
The average New York City household discards two pounds of organic waste each day—more than a million tons of organic material a year! Composting is one of the most direct, accessible ways to reduce the amount of garbage you produce and we’ll even teach you how you can do it in your apartment!

We let them go too long in the cupboard until they developed shoots, so into the compost pile they went.... where they started growing leaves. We'll see if they yield anything we can eat (if bugs don't get there first).
The compost heap and surrounding level was tidied up. The ground was raked clear and the non woody compost we had been collecting was added to the heap. A couple of pieces of the better quality salvaged wood were used to mark out the heap. The compost barrels were in good condition, so we moved them to this area.
While dumping old fruit and vegetable leftovers from a bag in my backpack behind the school (my host grandma didn't compost), I heard something behind me. I turned around and shrieked, for watching me was a Pizote, a raccoon-like mammal who eviently wanted to eat my smelly compost. We agreed so long as I could take a few pictures of him.
Mark King says a good quality compost has a pleasant, mild, earthy odor, with indistinguishable feedstocks.
Bed of dynamic accumulator (DA)plants downhill of a compost pile. It's a slight slope here, but I want to retain nutrients that leach out of the compost pile. (Most of these experiments are partly stuff I read and partly stuff I make up. Ongoing study and experience should correct any current errors. ) The DA beds will also provide nutritious mulch in the future. I plan to devote a lot of space of them. Ideally the garden will become independent of outside inputs, like straw mulch and fertilizer. Comfrey and nettles are good DAs. Russian Comfrey doesn't spread by seed, so it won't become a weed elsewhere.
A compost toilet was installed near the rain water harvesting system to reduce contamination in the water supply. This toilet also reduces flies and provides fertilizer.
A huge peice of Juniper (I think it's a Juniper or something related) was growing through a section of our fence. My Brother cut it down so he can fix the fence.
Afterwards, my Mom, my other Brother and I, started to cut it down to tiny pieces for the compost bin.
We collected a total of three five-gallon buckets full of the leaves.

Composting is great for a lot of reasons. My favorite being one's garbage is way less icky. Want to take a trip to our compost bin with me?
