After a heavy snow, we were not able to get to our home-made compost box in the backyard for awhile. This is what we saw when we looked inside. We found it quite beautiful.

A two-story solar-powered composting toilet. And there's a line to use it.

Later, she found out that the biodegradable containers were not as biodegradable as she had hoped so she had to clean it up conventionally.

This shows how healthy our bin is: lots of eggs! :)

DwellSmart generously donated the compost container and Biobag you see here...it's been great to have a dedicated space for our food scraps. It holds quite a bit of food too! Love it.

5-24 Compost: using the woody bits on the bottom of the bins to speed their deompostion and increase airflow throught the base of the pile(s). The grassy bits to th right will go on top.

I made these for an Earth Day themed craft fair, after seeing a similar picture online. Chocolate mocha cupcakes with chocolate chunks, coconut, oats, and potato chips. They were a surprise hit!

This is the good stuff that the city landscape recycling center sells. I believe it is composted horse manure and wood shavings. Yum.

This is the compost we use when creating flower beds or enriching the organic content of existing soil.

I've been an obsessive composter for over 25 years. I cannot understand

why anyone would let all that good organic stuff go to waste at the

municipal landfill when it can make high-quality soil for their garden.

Every couple of days I make the 20-metre trip to my composters in the

back yard. During the winter I have to keep the path open. After

receiving about 45 cm of snow in the past 24 hours (that's March 17th

and 18th!), today I had to shovel that path. Coming out my kitchen

door, I walk around the posts on the right and down the other path, on

the left. Year-round, I make good compost.
