The Final Product

 

Here is the compost - ready to be used.

I sifted this through a screen with 1" holes.

I wish we all had smell-o-vision and feel-o-vision.  It smells great and has almost a silky feel to it.

I will be spreading this on my vegetable garden.  I have two more piles working, one is almost done and another I just started today.

Please go through all of the posts if you are interested in making your own "black gold".

Reduce.  Reuse.  Recycle.

No food tastes better than food you grew yourself.

This is from this morning's harvest.

Please remember: Styrofoam is EVIL!!

Be well

Eat well

Pile update

The pile was turned today with some fresh grass clippings added.  Most of the ingredients have composted very nicely and are a rich black.  There are still some pine needles but they are very small.  My raised beds are going to get a lovely dressing after harvest.

On the subject of the Red Wigglers, they went into the compost pile a couple of weeks ago.  Too many flies and fruit flies and stink for my taste.  I tried to cover the holes with screen but nothing helped.  I'm sure they will all have a great life and enhanced the compost in their small way.
