Composting!
One of Liz’s latest obsessions is maintaining her new backyard compost bin. Here’s a shot of the weekly maintenance: Turning the contents of the bin over and adding in new material and water, if necessary.
The contents were definitely in full crank mode today - check out the steam coming off of the pile! I must admit that it did smell a bit like passing the feed lot on Highway 5, but I got through the turning over process without gagging. Maybe there’s a little too much methane in the process, but the bin is hot and the contents look more like compost that simple yard debris and kitchen scraps. So, it must be working!
My friend, Karina, thinks that I’m the only one she knows who would turn this into a science project , but it’s not true! I only got into this after seeing what Jay and Pease were doing with their composting.
