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.
The two bins in the middle I had already started to fill, but after 2 days (~12 hours of shoveling) I filled all three to the right from bottom to the pieces of wood near the top with manure.
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.
Totally 100% Vegan Compost. Been making this for about five years. ALL of it, except the coconuts (not ready yet) went into my raised bed today.

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?

Here's a glimpse into how our employees are living green - and tips on what you can do to reduce your impact, too!
I put it into flowerpot and noted my observations.
Here is a translation from polish to english:
24TH OF FEBRUARY 2012
In my flat I have no flovers, so I put the page into a flowerpot with cactus on the staircase... but I did it 2 days..no,no what am I writing?!?! 2 weeks ago(!) and stlii nothing! Nothing is happening with it. Those flovers haven't been transplanted for centuries, so claim that their soil is fertile is a strong euphemism. In addition noone waters these plants, so my page is just lying in dry sand in the color of soil . I hope that something will finall come out of it
26TH OF MARCH 2012
I took a look there recently because a dead cactus caught my attention. I hope It's not because of my page! ...rather not... It's just because nobody waters it. If cactus is dying it means that it's really bad.
I pulled my page out of the ground for a while and It's now in several pieces. My page is composting very very slowly...probably it's because of the lack of moisture.

5-24 Compost : setting up the compost area to accomodate garden trimmings, a worm bin and kitchen compost.
Had Andrew deliver 28 bags of compost. I need to try to do better with making it in the bin. But I don't make nearly enough for what I need so I always have to supplement. Here some is going in the 2nd big bed to get ready for planting.
Daniel stands in front of a compost pile. He's about 6 feet tall, so you can see how high these piles are. The pic is terrible becuase it's so dusty in the compost building. Oh, and stinky too.
