I made Pam a compost bin for her allotment.
The design was driven by the materials available: a pallet, portions of the neighbours demolished garage, and tongue-and-grove pine panelling.
Ned tying on spiked boots for a trip to the compost bin. It's still early enough in the season that the compost bin hasn't been plundered by raccoons or bears.
Young boys collect food for the worm compost bin after their class mates eat their lunch at the Downtown Value School, a charter school in downtown Los Angeles. The school uses gardens to teach students about gardening and also has a vertical garden, a flower and produce garden that goes around the school grounds and a small greenhouse.

This is our very first compost pile. It got full and we create a second pile. We have a nice sign asking people to not add anymore!
Building compost windrows with the front end loader, while we get a delivery of food waste in the back.
Those are the private documents we've been holding on to in a bag. No one will dare read that sensitive information now... That's my husband, ready with the hose.
Rehomed the compost bins under the plum and pear tree.
They're sitting on concrete now, rather than space in the back corner that I could use for growing.

A vermicomposting bucket is mixed with food waste and worms. Several different species of worms such as Canadian nightcrawlers, red wigglers or earthworms are excellent at decomposing organic waste products and turn those throwaway food scraps, paper or yard waste into compost as beneficial soil amendments. Compost is the key to organic farming and researchers at MU's Bradford Research Center in Columbia are looking at ways to make this style of food production more efficient and affordable.

in the spirit of "compost everything" I put these in the dalek.
All that's left is elastane, the cotton's completely disappeared
The compost is kept covered by a plastic tarp to retain moisture and the whole bin has a sliding tin roof on top. One end has a full piece of plywood and this end has two pieces to make it easier to unload when the time comes.
Table scraps plus wiggly worms equal vermicompost. A complete how-to is available from OSU Extension. ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1957/23... (Photo by Michael Noack and Sally Noack.)

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.

This has now settled to about 50% volume of the original pile. It is frozen on the edges and top but still hot in the inside.
I have 3 in a row which are rotated.
One long panel is split lengthways and used to start the build. One short panel is split lengthways and used at the top to finish the build.

This had an 'early' plucked allotment pear and some tomato skins and pips from some home-grown toms that had been ripened in the dark.

Wooden box, toilet seat, hidden bucket. Next to the composting toilet, barely visible is a container with saw dust. For more info, please read Humanure by Jenkins.
I decided to screen some of our compost tonight. I realized I haven't been turning it well enough because the stuff on the bottom was pretty wet and smelled terrible.
Trying not to smell, I screened some of the compost to see what it looked like and.... it looked good enough to me... so I mulched a few things.
How do you know when your compost is complete?
