Hot gases from decomposting green waste are drawn out through this ducting.

It would take an organic farmer to post such a sign on his boundary fence; I wonder what grows beyond the native bush on the other side of that barbed wire.

This year a new recipe for compost :)

Bought an alfalfa bale to mix with fresh-cut grass and dried twigs. Curious to see what's gonna happen.

Another stalwart of winter. And yes, they sing delightfully. At the Compost Area, Central Park, New York.

Good for compost, I understand.

Nature having its way with these Leaves.

In your garden, pull up any dead plants and lay them on the ground around healthy plants. You can also chop them up and mix them into the soil.

 

While leaves changing color in the fall are dying, they are not dead. A cold snap will kill the leaves the same as it will on the leaves of most your other plants.

Time to get that Composting Bin started.

Eskilstuna, Sweden 2011

We were surprised to look out to see these sweet ladies in our yard. One of them was very interested in our compost!

 

I feel terrible for wildlife lately because the air quality is horrendous due to the Canadian wildfires. For several days it’s been in the “unhealthy” and “very unhealthy” range, with a constant haze in the air. While we have the option of closing windows & filtering our air, they do not.

This was a family friends' garden centre after the final days of trade. It's now demolished.

Superb Fairy-wrens were particularly observant and appeared already while I was busy with the compost and they seemed to be working alongside me.

I've hardly finished some work on a rather neglected compost át the back of friends' veggie garden when several neigbours from the adjacent National Park arrived to appreciate my work. The Satin Bowerbirds came in numbers and allowed me to observe their likes and dislikes, as well as the way they deal with the food on offer. TBC

We’ve been taking steps to impact the earth less and minimize our waste, such as reducing our plastic use and purchasing less. One thing I’ve been wanting to do for a while is to start composting again (we weren’t very successful with it several years ago), and after researching it for a while, we finally started. The bin works great for this environment because we tend to get a lot of dampness & humidity here. Plus, it’s made from untreated cedar instead of plastic. The pail is for keeping on our kitchen counter and is perfect, complete with a filter to keep the smells in the pail.

The green waste collected from households and commercial gardeners is wetted down and put into these massive rooms on one side of the building. It quickly starts to decompose and the temperature rises to around 60C.

 

All this heat causes steam to escape from the hanger doors.

Vista da Ponte da Carvalha, uma estrutura do início do século XVII construída no período filipino. Apesar do seu estilo remeter para a arquitetura romana, a ponte foi erguida com técnicas e materiais da época moderna. Composta por seis arcos de alvenaria em pedra, atravessa a Ribeira da Sertã, integrando-se na paisagem da Alameda da Carvalha, um espaço de lazer e convívio local. Este património destaca-se pela sua relevância histórica e arquitetónica, mantendo-se como um símbolo das ligações regionais ao longo dos séculos.

Rimasto fermo per quasi 24 ore in attesa di riprogrammazione, questo lis Verona - Cervignano composto da: D.345 1090, 245 2283, D.145 1036, D.145 1012 e D.145 1010 staziona nell'ultimo binario elettrificato di Castelfranco Veneto...quasi per prendere il sole di queste prime giornate calde di fine inverno!

I was a little bothered that my photographer friend was able to whip out his phone and get la perfect HDR in one shot, so I took it as a challenge. I consider this as much digital art as photography, and not really the kind of photo I strive for

When I saw these lovely orange ones sitting near my compost pile today I was quite thrilled and spent some time on my hands and knees in the rain trying to get an interesting shot. Hubby laughed when I came in and said. "Did you fall in? You are dirtier than the cat on a rainy day!"

Trash- It seems to me after review of the pictures before me, we could do a lot of composting and recycling to reduce the world waste stream. Unfortunately this tea bag creates landfill in it's packaging. The acid loving plants enjoy the tea bag it's self. I start the day creating waste, perhaps a different brand in the future.

This is what our compost looks like at the moment. It proves that the compost soil is excellent, and that the garden care is somewhat neglected :)

Most of the strawberries were lovely - this one seems to be growing rather a lot of mould !!!!!

Macro Mondays - Trick or Treat

 

Some years ago we warned local children that if they threw eggs at our house when denied a treat their compost heap would become infested with ghoulish horrors.

 

This creature was recently found on one of their garden paths - clearly tortured to reveal the location of where where others might be hiding. You have been warned!

 

No apples were actually harmed during the capture of this individual, it's a mock up.

Extraordinary 2” golden peach bell-shaped flowers, conspicuously veined in red and clasped in a charming calyx dangle like jeweled ornaments from a mass of strongly upright branches year-round in USDA zones 9-11. Easy and fast growing, it can reach 15’ or more, but with an annual cut back to 30” you can keep it in the 6-10’ range or pinch tips to promote an even more bushier form. Pretty evergreen smallish maple-like leaves complete the picture.

 

It can be espaliered or grown in a pot. Or grown as a background vertical behind a fence or outside your side-yard window to enjoy all the hummingbird activity! Grow in rich loamy soil if possible and side-dress with a 1-2” layer of compost every so often for a healthy appearance. 6-10’ tall and 3-6’ across. Returns from the roots in frosty USDA zone 8 according to internet gardeners.

I thought the snow on the lid of this compost bin looks like the radioactivity symbol.

 

The Flickr Lounge-Made Of Wood

 

These are wood pallets we got from a local business to use for our compost bins. The Rhubarb is growing on the left side and a volunteer Delicata Squash is growing in front of the bin.

Four months ago I took this picture because I felt so captivated by the ordinary details I found in these pieces of peppers I had sliced that were to be discarded. Even though this would become compost material I really appreciated the colors, shapes, and light I saw here. I find “real” food/fresh produce so beautiful and interesting in appearance and love how I feel so thankful and excited when thinking about the nutrients and benefits fresh produce provides for our bodies. I’m thankful I took the time to capture what I saw.

The largest of the abandoned barges I photographed on this day. The wood timbers are so substantial that they partially turn to compost long before they totally disintegrate. Some of the barges have a thicket of shrubbery growing on top; this one had smaller plants on the side.

 

Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.

 

At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.

 

On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.

 

How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.

 

Best enjoyed 'large'.

 

A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.
