Short Description: A book of 17 photographs taken of my compost caddy whenever I found the contents interesting because of the colours or composition of elements or both. The photographs were taken with natural light from a skylight which gives a variation in the speed and aperture used. This information is recorded on the facing page with date of capture. The camera used was always a Sigma DP2 with Foveon sensor.

Finally got a chance to try out the 'new' screener. The compost is still frozen in the middle so it was difficult to get a full bucket of 'post. We had to adjust the offset weights to get the vibration but it works very well now. The motor runs at just a hair above idle, any faster and it smooths itself out. We had to put up some plywood due to wind.
I tossed out the old plastic compost bin I kept on my counter; it might have been attracting ants. Until I can get another container, I am using an old plastic drink pitcher that has a lid.
Inside the compost heap, we put mostly our kitchen and garden waste.
Here you can see fruit and vegetable peelings (carrot, onion, potato, orange), salamis, tea bags or leaves; basically everything that is organic. You can even put egg shells.
I'm in a compost class. Yeah I actually get credits for it and everything. This is an experiment where we are comparing two different bulking agents, wood chips vs straw. Here we are using a manure spreader to mix up the compost in an enclosed bin

Finally tried out the sifter. Worked pretty well. Most of the fines come through in the first three feet.
LEAF OR LEAVES is the topic for Saturday 5th September, 2015
About 40% leaves; the rest is kitchen recyling, garden stuff, prunings, grass clippings, probably a little soil and whatever else I think I can compost. This compost has been brewing for three years . I was able to get ten wheelbarrow loads from this bin. We have seven in total; this was the largest one.
So, I quit my job and chose to spend over $100 on compost, mulch and pea straw.
Sure, I could have spent the money on food, but this investment will make my garden (and vegetables) grow better.
Nik working in the compost toilet chambers. Each of the three toilets will be positioned directly above it's own chamber. The floor of the chamber is first covered with old beer crates to provide drainage and airspace. This is then covered with horticultural mesh which is secured to the walls of the chamber with plastic hose pipe.
If you are never sure what goes in which bin at Ellwoods Coffeeshop, Whole Foods shows you exactly what goes in which.
This is one of our four compost bins. We made it using discarded wooden palettes (and a little chicken wire). The bungie cords are holding the front door closed.
You know you're doing something wrong when you have to weed your compost pile. On the other hand, those are the healthiest tomato plants I have this year... I'm curious to see what they turn out to be. There's a dahlia in there, too, to my surprise... One of my discarded trimmings back in the fall must have had some life in it, after all.
