I mashed about in the back yard & woods, then decided to turn the big compost pile. Added stuff from to small bins. Inner core steaming! Wow!
I didn't turn my compost at all last winter and it froze. I'm gonna keep turning this winter to have garden compost early spring :)
Really something to see what looks like a pile of snow, is actually food & leaf waste breaking down to essential elements, high nutrient dirt.

For Earth Month 2012, Green Mountain Energy employees are sharing photos of how they live green each and every day. Both at work and at home, we all try to reduce our daily environmental impact in various ways. Here's a glimpse into how our employees are living green - and tips on what you can do to reduce your impact, too!
Super Soil - 50% river-bottom topsoil, 25% composted Bessie’s Best, and 25% compost. I elected to use a local mix rather than Mel's Square Foot Garden recipe because of the lack of sustainability factor on the peat moss.

5-24 Compost : setting up the compost area to accomodate garden trimmings, a worm bin and kitchen compost.
Introduced 1000+ (who’s counting?) PURE RED WIGGLER COMPOSTING WORMS from www.ebay.com/usr/earthcraft_wormfarm
This bin has a door at the bottom, which is nice. You can see the good dirt at the way bottom, but the inner core is good, too. When I dig this in, the outside layer will go back in the top to "cook" for a while longer.
Eggshells are good for the compost, but take more than a year to fully decompose. I'm planning to build a screen to filter out all the not-rotted-enough stuff this year, instead of picking it out by hand. It's not icky doing that, since it's essentially dirt by then, but it's time consuming for the eggshells.
Had Andrew deliver 28 bags of compost. I need to try to do better with making it in the bin. But I don't make nearly enough for what I need so I always have to supplement. Here some is going in the 2nd big bed to get ready for planting.
Daniel stands in front of a compost pile. He's about 6 feet tall, so you can see how high these piles are. The pic is terrible becuase it's so dusty in the compost building. Oh, and stinky too.
I initially thought this was a rove beetle but now not so sure. found in my compost heap today.
thanks to Don and Patrick for IDs
outside the fence and into a heap where it is mixed in with some earth and straw. We pretend to monitor the temperature with rebar which you can sort of make out to the left of the photograph. Every spring we dig through this to find material that looks most like humus and we add that to ...

Description of Compostable Cutlery For Hot Food
Our tableware is made of corn starch, a renewable plant resource, to minimize the impact on the environment. They are as durable as plastic forks, but will decompose in 30 to 40 days.
Our tableware is compostable. No wax lining, non-toxic. No tree has been cut down to make these utensils. They can withstand high temperatures up to 212 ° F and are very suitable for matching hot and cold food.
Advantages of Compostable Cutlery For Hot Food
Stop complaining about child-sized disposable forks. Our 7-inch tableware provides a comfortable grip and can easily pierce hard fruit and hard meat. Recyclable boxes can store what you left at the party and reuse it next time.
This is an diagram of the Gore Cover System. Huge sheets of Gore-tex are spred over piles of compost to speed up the decomposition. The temp and moisture content are closely monitered and with the Gore-tex the process is sped up something like 10 times (I could be wrong) but it was much faster then out in the elements
Eco-Chick's Tip - Don't bin it, compost it! Or wormerie it of course and make amazing black gold or liquid magic for the rest of your edible planting. TS x x
The path I put in to get to the compost bin. Alot of the extra slabs/rubbish will be moved- they're just remnants of a patio that used to be up there.
