I got this slightly upmarket compost bin (well very upmarket compared to my usual home made compost retention solutions!) during the week. I was unreasonably excited today putting it together and filling it ( I cut the grass, pulled some weeds from gravel, cleared out the henhouse, added a bin of shreded hedge cuttings from last year, tore up collected cardboard, a bag of straw that got damp and added some cold produced compost that will be very weedy unless I give it a good heating in a new heap. So satisfying & 14k steps!
I do think I have the ratios roughly right and that the whole thing will be getting hot by tomorrow evening. It will shrink and I will add another few batches of material over next 2-3 weeks

A visit to Deer Crossing The Art Farm. For the full description and more photos, see my blog post about it.
I made my first batch of compost in my Lomi yesterday. It takes around 3-5 hours to process one gallon of solid compost. I have a compost bin in my kitchen that I put vegetable and fruit scraps in on a daily basis. Once that is full, I empty that into my Lomi and process. It yields about 2-3 cups of ready-to-use compost. I'll do this over the winter and save what I don't use for my shade garden and seed starting next Spring.

This works very well. I will have a lot of compost come spring to put on my plants.
We cheated by running it over with the mulching lawn mower, but good compost is good any way you find it.
I have three large clay pots filled with fabulous pinecones in my garden. Today I discovered that I now have a compost heap in one of the pots. Love nature.

Fascinating bit of decay in the old railroad repair shop, which also was a repository for millions of sheets of paper records. The roof has rotted into a spider web, so it has been pouring water onto these file cabinets for decades. As a result, the metal is peeling apart like an onion and the paper is turning back into pulp.
It’s remarkable to think of all the hours spent writing, typing and archiving this stuff by hand — it’s mostly from the pre-computer era.

Short Description: A book of 17 photographs taken of my compost caddy whenever I found the contents interesting because of the colours or composition of elements or both. The photographs were taken with natural light from a skylight which gives a variation in the speed and aperture used. This information is recorded on the facing page with date of capture. The camera used was always a Sigma DP2 with Foveon sensor.
