Compost EXTRAGAVANZA

[dageir]

In light of lacking updates regarding composting I will post pics of my compost every week!
This so you can follow the decomposing process throught the year. I imagine many of you are never outdoors and this might be scary or indimidating, but that makes it even more important for you to see this even just through the computer screen.



I just added some fresh clippings from a rose bush.
Bonus: Notice the dandelions!

No, I do not have a traditional worm compost, but the worms (Eisenia fetida which I added after an ice fishing trip over a year ago) seem to enjoy the more mature compost bin where they feed on more decomposed material:


Be careful not to add species that are not native to your area.
