This is what happens when the tomato and cantaloupe seeds tossed in the compost heap in the school garden start to sprout. I hope I'm around later in the summer when they are big enough to harvest!
Allegedly the UK's first compostable carrier bags. Not very good for carrying bottles of beer and wine though.
its a bit smelly, but its all in the name of the GREEN REVOLUTION! also, it makes our trash way cheaper. : D

Made today out of old pallets.
Now that we have the bin in place, we can start clearing the overgrown grasses and in 6-12 months have fresh compost for the beds.

Description: To prevent wet waste like kitchen waste and leftover food from being dumped into landfills where it releases harmful greenhouse gases, the Indian government in 2016 mandated segregation of waste. Under the Solid Waste Management Rules the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change also stressed the importance of composting of wet waste by residential colonies and businesses.
Many residential colonies in cities of India have since then started colony-wide composting of wet waste, creating compost for their gardens. This move not only prevents wet waste from entering landfills but also leads to creation of compost — full of healthy nutrients for plants.
In the video, a member of SWaCH — a cooperative of self-employed waste collectors in Pune can be seen mixing wet waste of an RWA with soil to create compost in the composting unit within the residential colony.
so sunday afternoon was nice and warm. we decided to rake some leaves and winterize the compost pile with the leaves. i grabbed the camera and took this photo because it was so cool to see all those kitchen scraps/stuff i put in there turned into soil!
i had the camera around my neck but it got in the way as i gathered leaves to put on top of the pile. so i took it off and put it on the roof of the storage building, making a mental note to not leave it there. we covered the compost pile and got it winterized and i remembered i wanted to build a little shelter for the outdoor/feral kitty, amelia. we finished the shelter just in time for nightfall.
monday comes and it is the grayest, darkest, rainy day of the year. the wind and rain are miserable. both are non-stop all day. the rain was that really fine rain, too, that soaks everything in seconds. miserable!! tuesday's only improvement is that it didn't rain. it was still frigid out.
tuesday night we get in bed at 11:30 and talk about something or other and it dawns on me that i *think* i MAY have left the camera on the roof of the storage building. brian grabs a flashlight and lo and behold: i DID.
oh noes.
brian took the batteries out and put it on one of the heating vents so the heat/airflow could dry it out. all i saw when i looked at it when he brought it in was fog in the viewfinder and the lens. not good. i assumed the worst and sadly looked online for new cameras.
last night (wednesday) when he got home brian put the batteries in and shock of shocks! IT WORKED! after two freaking days of sitting out in the rain and freezing cold, it works PERFECTLY.
it may not be the fanciest, most expensive or best camera out there but god damn: what a camera.
Finished compost in a wheelbarrow, waiting to be moved to a garden bed. Notice the adult-sized shovel and the two child-sized shovels.
That's not snow - it is the recycled paper shreddings I bring home from work, after they have done their duty as chicken bedding.
You can actually use cat fur among with fruits and vegetables to make the compost. Roomba gives us lots of cat fur!

I had grand plans, but ended up just having time to cover this bin to be my compost bin in the kitchen. :(
Solar One's Green Renter Lecture Series: Introduction to Worm Composting with Kate Zidar of the Lower East Side Ecology Center. Lecture attendees rip up newspaper to prepare bedding for worm compost bins.
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!
We toss our vegetable scraps into a couple of compost bins. Almost every year the various seeds sprout and something tries to grow, but then dies down.
This year is different. This plant has grown through at least one aeration hole. It now sports white flowers and this green pepper!
This shot also serves as the foundation for my 5 October 2016 quickie.

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.
