Completed! I finished my first bin, then I did the same with my second bin, moving it over to where the first bin was previously. I move them back and forth, turning them, every 2 weeks for so. Eventually I sift the contents to remove the compost I use in the garden, but that will be a different set of pictures.
I raked all my winter leaves into a compost pile in a portion of my back yard where a tree and some bushes used to exist. Dead leaves don't have any nitrogen, so I had to add lots of grass clippings.

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

Compost fly- Scatopse sp about 3mm body length. Appropriately enough it was standing on my black compost bin lid
i should probably really be cutting things up into smaller pieces before putting them in... but they will have all winter to compost now...

This little mushroom popped up in our secondary compost pile. Not sure what kind it is, but it definitely looks like a fairy belongs under it.
These utensils are made of either a sugar or corn-based plastic, so they will break down and decompose in any composting program or in a landfill. SeaWorld and SeaWorld's Aquatica use these, along with paper straws. Now, if only someone could talk some sense into them about wasting food.
