Yeah I know it looks like a pile of straw, and it is. It just has a bunch of gross other stuff in it too, stuff like food wastes and some semi-completed compost, it gets technical, in the end it is really a nice addition to any soil, plants really like it.
Composting is the recommend method for disposing of animal mortality. This facility is at Garrett College in McHenry, MD.

The soldier fly larvae in the compost bin in an all out orgiastic feast. The worms don't seem to mind competing with the larvae. Infact, I think the larvae break the food down quickly into something more manageable for the earth worms.
Boeing volunteers work together to build compost bins and bird boxes during the Inside the Outdoors volunteer project. The compost bins and bird boxes will be donated to local schools.

Level of compost extract pumped into a sprayer. The extractor uses water and air to concentrate living biology in compost into liquid that can be used in sprayers, seeders, and other equipment to jump start soil biology. Shawn Preputin, Larry Johnson, and Alec McIntosh, farmers, create compost extract that is applied to their crop fields to bolster soil microbes and improve soil health. Hill County, MT; June 2022

Short Description: A book of 17 photographs taken of my compost caddy whenever I found the contents interesting because of the colours or composition of elements or both. The photographs were taken with natural light from a skylight which gives a variation in the speed and aperture used. This information is recorded on the facing page with date of capture. The camera used was always a Sigma DP2 with Foveon sensor.
The Archdruid has turned his peak oil/deindustrializing blog into a course in Green Wizardry. His first practical assignment is to learn to make compost and think about rethinking our industrialized food growing system and start solving our problems within the ecological system itself using what nature already offers more efficiently and with little waste instead of mining all the necessary nutrients separately and ripping off mountain tops to do it or other such ridiculously destructive thing.
Catherine has taken over the composting regime because she wanted to make sure that the proper amounts of carbon were mixed in with the kitchen scraps and then watered. I was being too lazee fair about it and not keeping things moist. She says compost making is just like cooking. Here we can see the lovely redwood shavings I got from Martine and Hilary's house. They live in the redwoods and a fallen tree from last winter was cut up into firewood leaving three giant bags full of wood shavings.
I like to turn compost and sift it. It's very meditative. The Archdruid talks about what I call the ick factor and he calls the Squick factor that keeps people from returning to earth based systems. When I kept a worm bin, my worms were so happy they multiplied prodigiously and when I went to harvest the vermi-compost I was left with a 7 lbs mass of wriggling worms that tipped even my ick factor, but then I adjusted; they were very clean and looked like lava flowing. Wish I had a picture of that, but it was pre-digital.
After over 4 inches of rain the past weekend, the old windrows were waterlogged. We had to turn so we modified the manure spreader to make a new windrow and mix the compost.
Un detalle del compost, al que todavía la falta un poco para estar listo para ser usado en el huerto.

I compost afterbirth and mortality in this bin. My sources of nitrogen are straw, hay, leaves, and manure.
Composting culture, you may enlist worms to do their dirty work in making rich earth.
As a worm eats its way through organic matter, it leaves behind castings, digested organic matter rich in nutrients and beneficial microbes. These microbes aid plant growth, help fight off disease nourish plants with readily absorbed nutrients that keep them healthy.
Compost bins are available to campground members at Sweetwater Reservoir - Bonita, California
