Today, I saw something I'd never seen before.
Art made of compost.
It’s hard to explain... But it deeply inspired me. So much so, I had to write a blog post about it:

I will never look at mandalas the same way.
I splurged on a pair of garden trugs so I can transport compost to my plot at the community garden. I really like how they have handholds *and* rope loops. Supposedly UV stable so I don't have to buy new ones every few years. #garden #gardening #compost #mulch
as #MilkAndMore are still offering #compost with #peat, I checked up and found that the ban scheduled for the end of 2024 hasn't happened. And who knows if it will ever be implemented. If you want to speed up the #ClimateCatastrophe, carry on destroying the #peatlands, that's probably a bigger factor than things like cars or airtravel.

Interesting slice of life piece here, but also a bit more. Korea has a serious attitude toward food waste (homes in my area are required to pay for specific bags to dispose of excess food and table scraps.) So photos of all these nearly full plates of uneaten bread are a shock to the conscience for many
Dug a new pit at the vegetable plot for on-site composting of weeds. Will bury the victims after a week or so, then will plant lima beans. #compost #composting #weeds #weeding #allotment #garden #gardening
@RavynWitch Exciting! looks like you might be making your own seed compost. Do you have a recipe?
When I was younger, I was responsible for the #compost bucket—a yellow one whose stench triggered my gag reflex.
Strangely, when emptying my own compost buckets today, the smell wasn't nearly as offensive. This could be due to layering sawdust (a layer over every significant deposit) or a diminished sense of smell with age. Either way, I'm not complaining!
Hello friends!
I am Eden, I am #NewHere, and I like making things grow.
My particular interests include #TreePruning (think: fruit orchards, but also espaliers and bonsai when I'm feeling particularly spicy), figuring out how to grow a #Garden on a plot that is almost 100 % sand and gets little to no rain in the summer months, #BuildingSoil, and collecting interesting vegetable varieties (bonus points if they are black/purple or variegated).
I am a mix of about 50 % idealism and 50 % cynicism. The world is going to shit, but… that doesn't mean we can't try to have nice things while we watch the world burn.
Follow and connect if you want to exchange ideas, passions, seeds or just talk about STUFF. I speak German and English well enough to hold a conversation, other languages might need some more time to decipher.
Some random assortment of things that rotate through my hyperfocus lens in irregular intervals: #Permakultur #Permaculture #Streuobstwiese #Pomologie #Obstbaumschnitt #RegenerativeAgriculture #RegenerativeLandwirtschaft #SoilBuilding #Compost #Kompost #Selbstversorgung #SolarPunk #KlimaKatastrophe #ClimateEmergency #Klimawandel #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Nachhaltigkeit #SolidarischPreppen #BGE #UBI #AnimalRights (to be extended)
I'm watching TVO right now. There's an interesting film called "This Film is Garbage!". It's about issues surrounding our household waste. Quite interesting. Informative and also light hearted.

When the potatoes start growing so you just toss them in the compost to see what happens 
I might end up with potatoes growing in the compost - could be fun! (I got a whole pumpkin plant that way last year.)

Built a Joraform composter today, the “Big Pig” I’ve had on back order for months. Good solid construction job, gonna be nursing the RSI for a bit! The compost from this will go into our heap compost along with chook poo and bedding and grass cuttings for incredible compost. #gardening #compost

Just realised, yesterday I failed to include the photo of the #compost bin after adding the contents of the three piles of #duckweed and #dredgings.
One compost heap has had its first turn at last. It’s quite well broken down already.
The compost in the yellow and blue grab bags has been turned three times since I stopped adding material to it.
It was turned before Christmas, at the end of January and now. #Compost #Mulch #Gardening #Allotment
At 09:09 this morning I decided it was a good time to take advantage of what the #wind had done overnight. A lot of #duckweed had accumulated in one of the bays in the #lake
visible from out lounge window.
With the aid of a angler's net attached to a long pole and a rake I managed to make a good stab of removing the weed along with some sludge and twigs found on the bed of the lake. It's now in a number of piles on the bank. I'll give it a day or two to allow #invertebrates to crawl back into the water and then move the piles to the #compost bins.

Spring cleaning 3/x
I'm making room in the compost bin for chicken bedding and manure. We do have municipal compost (I use it for brushy material) but the chicken waste, grass and plant clippings, and most autumn leaves we compost on site. I'll spare you the details of cleaning the coop, but the chickens clean like to help. The only thing is, their idea of helping isn't quite same as mine.
