A composting area was added last summer where everything from used facial tissues to egg shells are placed and rotated. Dirt is added to the top to keep magots at bay and it is turned with a pitchfork as often as possible. This is a process I am still working to perfect. It can be quite grotseque on a sweltering summer day. This year we hope to use the "organic" dirt that is created during the process.
This picture shows our first edition and includes the indoor composting system we had in place for a while but discovered that it didnt involve proper drainage, so was moved outside. The bin you see here was removed and the space is now occupied by non-enclosed composting materials. An additional area (to the left of the existing gate) is open and used for proper rotation of the composted materials as they become ready-to-use soil for planting, etc. New photos will arrive soon!
