But this photo above ain't in it - in spite of being in my 100 most pop album.

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.
Can you tell which part of the grass had compost dumped all over it?
I dumped out the bin (shown on the far right) a month or so ago. Most of the compost was used in the garden pots, but some soaked into the otherwise-forsaken ground. Result: green!
It was on a 2004 trip to Ucluelet on Vancouver Island that I got turned on to composting. Even here, in dry, hot Arizona, one can turn leaves, twigs, coffee grinds, fruit peels, vegetable ends, egg shells, stuff you previously just tossed into the waste stream... into beautiful black organic soil.
There is something fulfilling here, even for me, a born in the city boy.
With both bins full, it was time today to release the most "mature" one into the veggie garden. And start again!
Squash seeds itself nicely in the compost bin and tries to take over the driveway. We have eaten one good squash from it so far.
En un cajón construÃdo por los propios alumnos acumulamos restos vegetales del huerto y el comedor para preparar el compost.
Stuck inside all weekend - my only trip out was to the compost bin!
(Thank you Phil for the inspiration)

Here's how I went about harvesting worm castings for the first time. I scooped up what looked to be ripe soil in a "finished" corner of my worm box and put it in a bucket. I then dumped it out on a tarp to form a little mountain. I left it out in the sun for a half hour. The worms headed for the coolest region—straight down—and I scraped worm castings off of the top. By the time I had made it to the bottom—yes, I know, this is not exactly Everest, but I was working slowly and carefully on this first test run—a whole mass of worms was down there, so I collected them and put them back into the bin.
My experiment in the raised bed. After we pulled the potatoes, there was still the rotten straw that we'd used as mulch. Two weeks ago, I cleaned out the coop and threw most of the bedding and chicken manure in there. It was well over the sides. I've been turning it and watering it every couple of days, and it's composting faster than I've ever seen before.

Last falls windrows and the screened windrow from fall 2007. When we screened the compost we started on the far right hand side and moved the screener back (left) 5 feet everytime it was full underneath. We just unrolled the plastic tarp as we screened and allowed the overs to stay on top of the tarp to hold it down. Someone made the comment that it looks like a caterpillar.
