the theme of the engagement party was "green"
Eve got potato spoons, forks, and knives. In addition, got compostable cups!
These are the storage bins for composting toilets on the UBC campus. There's 2 years' worth of waste in there...and it didn't stink!
This afternoon, they were gathering compost and this gardener was standing on top of it. You can see the heat and smoke.
As part of my work at the Andes Sprouts Society Residency I placed compost worms on top of a medium of sand and clay slip. This is part of a video that documents patterns of movement in these amazing creatures. After observing their movement for several days I started a collaboration with the composting worms in creating abstract art.
Please join me in my blog “Scientist/Artist: Experimenting, Reflecting, Creating.”

CUSO co-operant Nicolas Parenteau and Mekong School volunteer Jeremy Mak build a compost heap on a vegetable bed on the model organic farm.
Nicolas was killed in a motorcycle accident on Feb 22, 2008 in Chiang Mai. He was working with NEED-Burma on integrating their traditional farming practices with newer sustainable agriculture theory. This series is dedicated to his memory.

"This low maintenance mouldering toilet, built in 2001 by a Home Design/Build class, is based on the Gap Mountain Permaculture design. The toilet features two separate lined concrete block bins. Only one bin is operational at a time, allowing the other bin’s waste to settle, decompose, and become usable compost, also known as “humanure.” "
It's really nice and airy inside. The raised roof design makes you feel like, well, like you're not inside a toilet.
Ok, here is the completed project. Well, I have to clean it up a lot. The concrete/mortar smears should come off in the morning with a hose and a stiff brush. (I hope!)
It's almost done. If this batch looks a little bloated to you, it is! I usually open the container during sunny days to dry the batch since I do not have drainage holes. But one time I forgot to close it and the next morning it was filled with rain water! Arrggg. So there is still decay going on because every day air bubbles are formed as part of the decayed process and pushes the lighter samples up. I try to mix this batch as soon as possible. Eventually this will dry down and it can be sieved and used! Ahhh...compost magic.
