Another view of the worm bin. Notice the drainage on the bottom, used to collect the worm compost tea that will fall through the system, and collect in a bucket for us to use as fertilizer.
Despite playing around with a huge diffuser I wasn't quite able to get the quality of light correct.
Small compost bin moved to another location and large paving slabs put in place (the path will separate the two new two meter square sections).
My Giggling Bean Pal Big Bird cheered me on while I turned the compost LOL
I LOVE Sesame Street :)

I've gone and done it again - ott with pics of a staph.
these two were very different in size but seem exactly the same and with the same } mark on the base of the abdominal segments (and in my compost heap again) so I think they are the same species as I have seen before eg www.flickr.com/photos/shane58/3022478825/in/set-721576089...
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.

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.

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.
