Landscaping has begun between the north and southbound red IRT lanes along the stretch between Sunset Beach and Dolphin Beach. Workers are distributing compost to improve the soil ahead of planting.
This is what I like to call "finished" compost. It has achieved a high (130-160) temperature during composting then cured for a long time.

This pile has been cooking for a few months, and it was time to spoon it out for mixing in with a new garden are I worked on today. There was a good three wheel barrows full of dark meaty dirt and lots of worms.
We invested in a new compost bin. This looked really fairly easy to use on the Internet, but you really need to have muscle to move the handle. It's supposed to be turned daily. Where is Alex when you need him????
Ran out of the stockpiled compost, so hubby went for another load today for me to finish the new "shade" garden! It used to be free from our town, now they charge $18 for this amount. Still a bargain!

A composting toilet is a dry toilet that uses a predominantly aerobic processing system that treats excreta, typically with no water or small volumes of flush water, via composting or managed aerobic decomposition.
Composting toilets may be used as an alternative to flush toilets in situations where there is no suitable water supply or waste treatment facility available or to capture nutrients in human excreta as humanure. They are in use in many of the roadside facilities in Sweden and in national parks in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
The human excrement is normally mixed with sawdust, coconut coir, peat moss to support aerobic processing, absorb liquids, and to reduce the odor. The decomposition process is generally faster than the anaerobic decomposition used in wet sewage treatment systems such as septic tanks.
The Excel is the best-selling unit in North America. It is a high capacity Bio-drum toilet that is very simple to operate, features well proven technology and is extremely reliable. The Excel was the first ever self-contained composting toilet to be certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).
To simulate residential use the Excel was tested by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) at maximum capacity for 6 continuous months, during which the Excel produced no odour and produced a clean, safe compost.
The 2" vent is attached at the top back of the Excel and can be installed invisibly by running it through the wall and up the outside wall. For comfort the Excel has a sturdy detachable footrest which can be removed to pull out the finishing drawer.
A defiant orange slice in the compost bin. Dare to resist, fruit, your degradable days are coming.
(I mostly liked the bright spot of color among the grey, done w/o any PhotoShoppish tricks)

There is now a book! stefan-szczelkun.blogspot.com/2018/09/compostion-advance-...
But this photo above ain't in it - in spite of being in my 100 most pop album.
This huge pile of steaming compost gave me compost envy. I wish we had all of these horses pooping around my house.
Krissi Fiebig, Compost Site Intern with WRRAP. Krissi is collecting food scraps and other organics each week from departmental break rooms and buildings around campus. This material goes into the Earth Tub, where it gets mixed and processed into a rich compost. WRRAP provides the compost at no cost to students (self-serve compost pick-up is located outside the entrance to R.O.S.E) and to programs like CCAT and Oh SNAP! Work on campus but don't have a compost bucket in your break room? Contact WRRAP today for this free service, wrrap@humboldt.edu.
Annually, HSU collects approximately 100 tons of food waste. While some of this remains on campus to be composted in the Earth Tub, most of HSU's food waste is transported to an off-campus worm farm.
