SUMMER OF COMPOST - 2010
Day 2.
Edible Office has Summer of Compost.
Google has Summer of Code.
During the Summer of Compost, I am turning compost daily.
This is what it looks like after I have mixed the kitchen peelings with the compost starter I made. In this new pile, underneath what you see on top, there is also some dried cow dung.

Compost heaps before digging over. I have now been told that grass cuttings don't compost well for vegetable growing. I'm not sure if this is true, does anyone know?
A student demonstrating how to properly use the diverting plates. To encourage the correct use of the diverting plates the sanitation team (Diego, Tyler and I) created a composting kickball game. The game followed the same parameters as a traditional kickball game, but to score a point the students had to demonstrate how one correctly uses the diverting plates. This entailed the act of squatting over the diverting plate and pouring dry matter into the correct hole.
This is the three bin compost area I built at my grandmother's house. The bins are made from pallets and dressed up with driftwood out of Torch Lake. The front boards are fence pickets that were about a dollar each and they slide in from the sides to build up the front as the bin is filled.
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.

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!

Compost bins sitting side by side, flanked by two free-ranging hens looking for insects. The symmetry of this image still amuses me.
