I compost afterbirth and mortality in this bin. My sources of nitrogen are straw, hay, leaves, and manure.
Our tour group listens to our guide explain how incoming leaves are received in the Fall, and worked into the composting process.
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

By "the City" I mean Albany, NY, but still, I am in a city and composting.
The pile in the wheel barrow is sifted compost and the pile on the tarp is what was sifted. The sifted, made up of material that hasn't broken down and some sticks, will go back into the composter which is the big green barrel in the background. I added in some newer compost and leaves from the back garden where I had been piling compostables during the winter. The wheel barrow was mixed in with dirt and some left over leaves in the back garden. I will mix in some peat moss and continue to work the soil until I cover it with week blocker fabric and we start planting seeds.
Peas and green beans can go in as soon as the soil is ready.
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.

Joel was incredibly proud of how well the compost pile turned out. The only thing that wasn't plain old dirt were the grass clippings from the day before.
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.

Producers make their own compost with a combination of Guano de Isla (highly nutrient-rich bat poop, essentially, found in caves on Islands near Peru), guinea pig scat, and coffee cherry skins.
Check out the steam! The compost pile had gotten so warm that it steamed for at least 20 minutes when Joel started turning it into the garden. (Oh, and it smelled like a horse farm.)
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.
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 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)
