Compost Day

We gathered this morning at 10:30 to begin chopping up the compost. Over the course of the day, Tim, Hatch, James, Linda, Aidan, Brian, James' friend Hannah, and other gardeners came and went. 

Early stages were chopping, which James did while Hatch and Tim and Aidan built two soil screens for community use. Tim brought the lumber; Hatch brought the screen and the tools, and the three of them went to work.

By 4, the soil screens were ready and in use! James and his friend Hannah spent some time sifting soil and then making the compost bins into "live" piles by layering green and brown materials. By 6, two of the bins were "cooking," and a lot of the waste around the pile had been incorporated into either compost (screened) or back in to cook. 

Good job everyone!
