Design department composting initiative. New logo by ID3 Jonny Hehr (idtreehouse.com). So effective for the obvious: banana speaks compost, arrows speak recycle, colour: highly visible.

Starting Our Garden!
This is a sticks/debris compost pile. We also have a food scrap compost bin that we started right after we got here. I recycle "every single fruit and veggie scrap" that comes out of the house. I advise anyone, who grows plants to get a compost bin and save your organic fruit and veggie scraps to make compost.
I mashed about in the back yard & woods, then decided to turn the big compost pile. Added stuff from to small bins. Inner core steaming! Wow!
I didn't turn my compost at all last winter and it froze. I'm gonna keep turning this winter to have garden compost early spring :)
Really something to see what looks like a pile of snow, is actually food & leaf waste breaking down to essential elements, high nutrient dirt.

This is where we intend to do most of the active composting. Still setting stuff up but it's getting there.
Added a divider to my compost bin so one side is dirt ready for potting and the other I'd composting.
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.

My winter composting bin early on New Years morning (during a huge snow storm). I'm a composting fanatic - what can I say?
The compost is a little aerobic right now, which is the reason we wanted to have Gary turn it with the front loader. Turning it allows air to enter the mix which helps accelerate the composting process.

For our Earth Day Seed Swap, we made a batch of compost tea. We save kitchen scraps, then stuffed them down into a pantyhose leg. The pantyhose then went into a 5 gallon bucket, which was filled with water.
We set it under the aquarium and ran a hose from the air pump into the bucket. This gets it brewing. Within 24-48 hours you've got a wonderful compost tea to be poured onto your plants.
Made these in March with palettes, plastic-tied to each other and the fence at the back. A B C - left to right.
B has the freshest greenery; A the more advanced compost and C the stuff I can use.

I repurposed an old juice pitcher that was less than functional (it dribbled in pour mode) into my compost collector- all the vegetable trimmings, fruit rinds, coffee grinds that make their way to my bins outside.
It's not very big, so I get regular exercise.
I love my worms. They do amazing work. I feed them lots of veggies and scraps (coffee grounds, paper, tea bags) and with a little bit of time and a lot of worms, these scraps become this rich soil - perfect for the garden. It's amazing.

This system uses a small amount of water and compost is the end result, saving water, saving the energy of treating wastewater, and eliminating nutrient release into the watershed.
