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?
A two-row compost shed in operation. It was dark, and warm and smelly, but is computer controlled so people don't have to go in there.
All the material worked in and decomposing. Ground is frozen on top now so will have to wait until spring to see the end results.
Actually, the old compost bin from Paw Paw, set up in a new location at the property. Got it nearly full, mostly yard waste, lawn trimmings, and garden debris from when I cleared out the old garden. The last batch of compost I made turned out beautifully, which has inspired me to do a lot more composting. The interior of this pile is already scalding hot to the touch after a day or two, a nice mix of stuff. Bin is made from 4 shipping pallets and 4 wire coat hangers cut in half (to tie the pallets together), for a total cost of nothing. :) I'll probably add a second "bay" next to this to facilitate turning the pile and to also have more than one batch going at a time.
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.
At Ekolet, we provide the completely odorless, easy to maintain and quality indoor & outdoor composting toilet system for home. We are promised to offer the best possible toilet facilities to our clients.

I 1975 arrivano finalmente in Italia per due date evento! Il 12 aprile 2016 si esibiranno davanti al pubblico milanese del Fabrique di Milano.
A distanza di tre anni dal loro ultimo concerto italiano e con migliaia di follower in più, i quattro di Manchester promettono uno show pieno di emozioni e carica rock.
I The 1975 (stilizzato come THE1975) sono un gruppo musicale indie rock britannico formatosi nel 2002 a Manchester. È composto da Matthew "Matty" Healy, Adam Hann, George Daniel e Ross MacDonald.
Nonostante la loro giovane età , (classe 1989), da subito si distinguono per i testi cupi e i temi profondi, il tutto viene poi visivamente consolidato da un rigoroso uso del black&white per video, foto e copertine di EP ed album.
Il loro stile musicale può essere definito come un crossover originale di electro, R&B e pop ’80. Non a caso il loro produttore è Mike Crossey (Foals, Arctic Monkeys).
Il 1° giugno 2015 segna un momento di svolta per il quartetto: viene infatti postata sui profili social un’immagine a colori (bianco e rosa) del tipico logo della band. La data non è stata scelta a caso, il 1° giugno è infatti il giorno della nascita della band. Il restyling significa quindi una rinascita simbolica per una band che può e vuole suonare per quante più persone possibili e continuare a fare musica.
Matthew Healy – vocals, guitar
Adam Hann – guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
George Daniel – drums, backing vocals
Ross MacDonald – bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
Our two compost bins--not exactly beautiful but none of this nutritious stuff for plants goes to a landfill to be mixed with toxins.
I wanted to test how compostable this "compostable" bag really was. I put it in my worm bin for 4.5 months (enough time for all of the vegetable matter to be fully broken down).
This is what the bag looked like after composting. Note that while the paper has worn off, the plasticy part is not broken down at all.
this is 6 year old compost, beautiful and rich, covered in blackberry. Soon it will be in the greenhouse
