It was really rainy that is why the picture looks so noisy. Here is layered compost in a manure spreader.

Fungi in my Compost Bin. I had in that compost bin, rotting Malay Apples, small tropical fruit. These fungi were growing and I actually had my head in this bin to get these closeups. It sounds gross but they are small and I had to get close to get the macros, and the bin did not smell. LOL. A few more of these can be seen in this SET:- www.flickr.com/photos/25747229@N00/sets/72157594504333027/
A grain box from an old Deere combine. The bottom opening has some metal screen attached to allow for upward air flow through the curing compost. It is placed on an old pallet to allow for easier movement with a tractor.
We eat a lot of fruit, veggies, and eggs on the GAPS diet . . . this 5 gallon bucket makes trips to the compost tumbler less frequent.
There were two of these on the lid of my compost bin, only emptied earlier in the day. About the size of ladybirds I don't know the species, there are a vast number of these, beetles being one of the most successful insect families.
Nearly completed rotating composter. The gray material is above-ground swimming pool liner, formed into a cylinder with heavy aluminum and lots of pop rivets. Its axle is chain link fence post with bearings of Schedule 80 PVC plumbing pieces, aluminum tubing, polyethelyene pipe, and 1/2 inch stainless steel bolts.

Ingredienti
250 g circa petti di tacchino [ricetta orig: 140 g petti di pollo + 4 cosce di pollo]
g 140 composta di fichi fioroni [ricetta orig: confettura di fichi]
g 120 panna fresca
g 60 brodo vegetale
prezzemolo [ricetta orig: maggiorana]
olio extravergine d'oliva
sale e pepe
4 fette di pane [ricetta orig: g 200 focaccia]
Preparazione
Ridurre a dadini circa 140 g di tacchino e passarlo al mixer con la panna, una presa di sale e un pizzico di pepe. Infine, mescolare al composto g 80 di composta di fichi. Aprire il rimanente petto di tacchino [ricetta originale: disossare le cosce di pollo], porlo tra due fogli di pellicola e spianarlo delicatamente con il batticarne. Eliminare la pellicola, ricavarne dei quadrati e spianarli delicatamente con il batticarne. Eliminare la pellicola e stendere su ciascuna di essi g 10 di confettura di fichi. Spalmare poi con il composto mixato, arrotolare, avvolgere in un doppio foglio di pellicola, chiudere a caramella alle estremità e bucherellare qua e là con una forchetta. Tuffare i cilindri in brodo vegetale bollente e lasciarli lessare, a fiamma dolce, per 18-20' circa. Una volta cotti, eliminare la pellicola e farli dorare in padella in un filo di olio. Lasciarli intiepidire, quindi affettarli, profumarli con qualche fogliolina di prezzemolo (maggiorana) e servirli, tiepidi, su fette sottili di pane [ricetta orig. focaccia] tranciate con un coppa pasta, leggermente bruschettate e lucidate con olio aromatizzato al prezzemolo (o alla maggiorana).

Despite the recent freezing temperatures at night, the garden compost is holding steady at a toasty 97 degrees. The orchard compost is about 80. We're working on that. The temps have me thinking more about the outdoor shower.
Raw material used to create compost extract by Alec McIntosh, Larry Johnson, and Shawn Preputin, farmers in Hill County, MT. June 2022
When out kitchen scrap bucket (in our kitchen) is filled, we empty it outside in the compost bin. This is what we had today.
Leavings from cleaning out the compost extractor will be put on Alec McIntosh's garden. The extractor uses water and air to concentrate living biology in compost into liquid that can be used in sprayers, seeders, and other equipment to jump start soil biology. Shawn Preputin, Larry Johnson, 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

(and accompanying toilet paper). I figured that people would be curious, so I took a picture of the chalet's composting toilet. The hole is covered by two plastic flaps; when you sit down those flaps go down and open the hole. The sawdust on the left goes in when you finish. The liquid and the solids are separated, and when each container is full, it's dumped somewhere in the forest (we didn't have to do this in the week I was there).
Vince digs out about 15 gallons of rich, black compost for the garden. We're going to try two bins starting this Fall and stop filling the one we want to empty in the spring. Read more
And now you know how to write compost in Hindi (unless that's Konkanee - it's never totally clear to us what language(s) are being used at SwiftWash).

Bessie and City are quite happy with the fact they got to help me rake the backyard. They think they get to ride to the community compost pile and help unload. I told them after what they did to my rake they might just be left there. They started out quite nice, just exploring the area I had raked with City ocassionally picking up a stray stick, but it changed with both of them attacking the rake and breaking off several tines.
Vanmorgen hing er een rare geur in huis. De buurman was begonnen met gieren. Laten we zelf dan ook maar meedoen dacht ik maar zo. De komende dagen staan in het teken van groententuin opruimen en compost verdelen. Die rare geur in huis zal dus nog wel even blijven, maar is nu afkomstig van onze eigen kleren en laarzen. De piraten vinden het niet zo erg, kunnen ze lekker lang in bad zodat het ook onder de nagels schoon wordt.
This morning there was a funny smell in the house. Our neighbour farmer started to spread his cow manure. We joined him and worked (and the next couple of days) in our garden and spread our own stable compost.
I needed to move the compost heap from one side of the garden to the other, in order to dig up the flags next to the bench.
I tried shoving it and working it, but in the end, it was easier to shove it over, slide the plastic free, put it where it needed to go, and then re-fill it with the compost, which had been lying about on the floor.
