The compost area backstage at the 2010 Winnipeg Folk Festival. Everything backstage can be compsted, including the disposable cutlery
Ambrosia for the garden once its composted. This poop is collected from the toilets and is nearing its final stage of composting. Lots of sprouts and ants. One of our members accidentally stepped on the metal cover which did not hold his weight and his foot broke through and landed in the stuff. He looked stunned, but sustained no ill effects once his foot was washed off.

Caps are added to aeration tubes in a compost bin that uses the Johnson-Su method to keep the wet, raw materials from filling the tubes as it is added to the bioreactor. Shawn Preputin, Larry Johnson (pictured), and Alec McIntosh, farmers, create compost extract that is applied to their crop fields to bolster soil microbes and improve soil health. Hill County, MT; June 2022
Maureen and Alice N demonstrate the compost procedure: dump food scraps from the kitchen into the compost bin (nitrogen), add dried grass (carbon), animal manure (high nitrogen), and finally add water ((moisture) to complete one layer of compost

Made from a recycled spud crate which the bottom had fallen out of. I'm very pleased with this.
Needs a few air holes and a little work to make the front removable.
Yesterday, I was greeted by a couple of lively corn cobs that I had tossed in the compost a couple of weeks ago, discards from the squash blossom soup I had made. Seems the kernels have been busy sprouting and nesting in the dark, which I found oddly pleasing.
This photo was taken in my back yard in Cary, North Carolina. My family composts bio degradable food items like egg shells, coffee beans, etc. In the picture there is a earthworm, Lumbricina. The earthworms are decomposers so they, ingest the food material and excrete it out as waste. The waste produced by the earthworms is a nutrient rich soil that can be used in gardening. The waste produce from the worms is full of carbon and nitrogen. The plants are able to get the nutrients they need to grow from this waste product.
Our neighbor put this orchid in the compost a week ago. While it was out there, the flowering stems curled upward towards the sun & one even sprouted a new wand of buds. So I picked it up, cleaned off all the rotting sphagnum moss and dead roots, and put it in a new pot. We'll see if I can get any blooms out of it. If not, I'll let my wife take over. She has the magic orchid touch.
Cells 1 and 2 of the 2008 sheet composting season. Materials began being delivered April 22, 2008. These cells are mostly leaves from previous year and dry thatch from spring work on the lawns.

I splurged on my drill bit, but I think you could make twice as many holes with a 3/8" bit and be fine, too. I got the bi-metal hole saw bit (1"), because it goes through metal well and because I thought I might use it later on to make more rain barrels. You must get a pilot drill bit to fit inside the white hole saw bit.
