Our second compost bin is getting full, so I took one of the tiers from the first bin and placed it on the second... making this one 4 tiers high.

We have stopped placing compost in the first bin, so it will finish the final step of composting before we empty it out.

Vrijdag ontvingen buurtbewoners aan de Witte de Withstraat in Ede 50 zakken compost. Wethouder Leon Meijer (o.a wethouder afval en duurzaamheid) overhandigde een eerste zak aan mevrouw Janine Tuinstra-Knigge. Mevrouw Tuinstra won de zakken voor haar buurt met het liken van de speciale Facebookpagina @afvalapart.

I don't have a composting area: I put my daleks where I need compost.

This recently emptied heap is going to be raked out to provide a mulch for the broad beans

On Composting Toilets and Humanure

Sure it's a gross pile of garbage now, but in three short months, it will be glorious (to me) compost, just in time for veggie planting.

Oversize stuff out the discharge end. Dumped back into other composting bins.

Vince sprinkles some shredded junk mail into the compost bin to balance the carbon to nitrogen levels in the compost bin. A healthy balance will make the bin have no smell at all, despite the rotting organic wastes. It's also a great way to turn junk mail into garden soil instead of putting it into our local landfill.

Down on the allotments at the top of our terrace my friend Sharon is beavering away in her purple wellies making a seriously good compost heap. Loads of horse poo that she picks up and barrows down the lane every morning rain or shine, makes the main ingredient of a rich and fertile mix that the vegetable growers fight over...it's goldust! The heap is working well and as she turns the mix, the heat rises and up comes the steam...a great way to keep warm on a chilly November morning.

WELL IN HAND -- What fine compost looks like. (U of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture photo by Katie Teague)

At the lake surface. No running water, and only a small trail to haul a chemical toilet up and down.

dans le cadre d'un programme pilote d'implantation de bacs à composte dans les campings, les enfants du camping international de Castellane ont eu l'occasion de participer à une sortie thématique autour du composte. Au programme : ramassage d'insectes sous les feuilles et dans la terre, observation, dessins et explication du cycle de la matière organique.

I turned the compost pile today adding 5 gallons of water to several layers of green clippings.

This is the yard material after de-bagging in cell 2.

A set of photos of the compost bin I built in our backyard. Pressure-treated lumber and other materials (screws, nails, and hardware cloth that lines the interior) cost us right around $150.

Our lovely compost bin! There's no bottom, it just rests on the dirt.

The Girls have discovered The Wonders of The Compost Bin which resides inside their chicken run around the coop. they very much enjoy the perfect mixture of worms and bugs and vegetable matter and egg shells.

my understanding is that you should prevent discourage hens from eating whole eggs because once they get a taste for them you'll get a whole less eggs in your fridge.

but egg shells are a great source of calcium - are there any issues with letting them munch on the shells in the compost bin? should we crush them so they aren't identifiable as eggs or are half shells not perceived as shells per se by little chicken brains?

and are there any other issues with letting The Girls hand out in the compost bin in general and eating egg shells in particular? i've seen some websites claim that you should thorougly clean the shells, cook them briefly in the oven and crumble thoroughly - is that really necessary?
