Compost heaps that are 3-4 months old. The heaps are full of active red worms that break down the soil. The pipes and sprinklers are for watering, in order to maintain the level of moisture that the worms require to survive.

Three bin compost. I picked the three-bin system so that one is designated for currently cooking/composting, one that stuff is being added to, and one where extra materials are store.
So far, my system isn't working out the way I wanted and all three bins are mostly full. Yay for compost!
Harvest of compost in my garden: the lower part of the pile is black gold --banana peels, orange peels, all the kitchen scraps alive with worms and other creepy crawlies.
the pup discovers the huge heap of compost and thinks she is in heaven. She's been monopolising my time recently.

The sunlight coming in through the window is making the fabric look a bit washed out.
Not sure what this is, growing out of my neighbour's compost barrel (I did notice that there were some old potatoes in there but I am not sure what potato plants look like when they flower). The flowers are pretty, but I was really shooting the slug.
Nicolas said he thought we should throw the compoast away as it is so infested with slugs but I thought that was a waste. To be honest, the existing soil is infested so we might as well make it richer. I am sure this is the first compost the garden has seen in a while. The slugs and I will just have to live together. Until I buy some Nemaslug!
Another season of success for the compost bin. Four wheelbarrow loads and still plenty for the neighbours to share.
Our cafeteria at work switched over from plastic cups and silverware to these bio-compostable ones. I thought I would save the ones I use (and some of my co-worker's) and put them in my compost pile to see how they do.
our soil builders group composted 25 pallets worth of wasted food this weekend.
everything was bagged, wrapped in plastic or clamshelled except for the melons and cabbages...
for reference, this tractor load of blueberries was about 1/10 of one pallet.

This year we’re excited that the Carbon Fast has gone global, with churches in Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil, Hong Kong, the United States and many more joining in!
Look out for the weekly actions and reflections, each based on a different theme, to get a flavour of how the Carbon Fast is happening around the world and to help you along too.
Why take part?
Our day-to-day lives may not be impacted severely by the changing climate – yet.
But what about people who struggle to feed their families or find a home that won’t get washed away, or who can’t work because the fields have been destroyed by droughts and storms?
And here in the UK, as many people struggle with heating bills we can see how even predictable weather can push us to the edge.
It’s our job to bring hope.
What cost do our energy-intensive lifestyles have…on us…on poor communities…on God’s creation?
Join us in the Carbon Fast this Lent to respond to this challenge, remembering how God has called us to respect and look after his good creation and to protect poor people who we know are suffering the most.
