Growing Solutions' new Compost Tea Catalyst is a unique blend of ingredients formulated to stimulate diverse microbial growth during aerated compost tea production. In addition to seaweed extract, humic acid and mineral powder, our Catalyst contains an array of select botanical ingredients without the use of simple sugars.
A key feature of our new formulation is the Catalyst Booster that is added near the end of the compost tea production cycle. The Catalyst Booster contains additional ingredients selected to sustain microbial activity during compost tea application.
Compost Tea Catalyst is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in organic production, and the majority of ingredients are certified organic.

We decided we wanted to compost, but also be thrifty. This is our compost bin designed out of completely free pallets that we just scrounged around for (if you want pallets, trust me people, you can find them).

Time or money invested in your garden’s soil always brings the best returns: healthy, vigorous plants and great harvests. And when you keep yard waste and kitchen scraps from the landfill you’re doubly rewarded. You can buy ready-made, organic compost to get a jump start. But it’s easy and inexpensive to make your own with the right materials and good equipment.
Pretty Handy Girl made a perfect guide for beginners.
So what can be composted? Basically only raw fruits and veggies (and egg shell) kitchen scraps. Here is the basic list:
Kitchen scraps
raw fruits
vegetables
egg shells
Coffee grounds and the filter
Newspapers, non-glossy cardboard, paper towels
Leaves (brown for carbon and green for nitrogen rich)
Grass clippings
Plant & flower clippings
Yard waste
What can’t be composted?
Meats
Dairy products
Processed foods
Plastic
Man made substances
Metals
Of course, we suggest you to build the perfect compost bin from pallets. Now you can start to get a beautiful garden soil next spring:
Our compost bins are filled to the brim... mostly with all the fallen leaves from our garden and from my brother's humungous Planetree
our new compost bin that we will hopefully be able to take with us when we leave our rental. We will see how it goes.
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/
I thought our compost bowl from preparing tonight's dinner was kind of artful. Chris made a lovely homeade tomato sauce with carrots and onions and lots of garlic and then pork meatballs. Delish!

I'm not sure exactly why, but composting is kind of exciting. My bin now has an earthworm! It could be multiple earthworms, but I only see one at a time...
Repost @dart_humanitarian_engineering: Our Compost Tea team presented their project and business model in Washington, DC this weekend and were honored to be selected as national finalists for the Global Grand Challenge. The project aims to roll out sustainable urban agriculture solutions in Quito, Ecuador over the next two years. We are so grateful for this experience and opportunity to meet other engineers making change, and the feedback we’ve gained has been invaluable. Next week, we find out if we have been selected to go to London for the Global finals—two out of four finalists will advance!
this is a 12ft long heat seamed plastic tube used to measure air flow, it is 1cu ft of volume for every foot of length, 3.545ft in circumference. It will work even with extremely low air speeds, unlike the $500+ HVAC equipment which doesn't work below .25m/sec (www.fluke.com). The tube took 20 minutes to make and cost less than $0.20.

Some cantaloupe remains tossed into the compost pile last winter produced these cantaloupe vines. Unfortunately, the horrendous drought we've been suffering has stymied the growth lately. (Added by NM.)
