Despite not paying any attention this year to the compost bin, we have compost.
The middle bin contains the remains of grass and sandy soil that we collected when we scraped away the grass that had been growing between the paving stones on the walkway from the road to the Riel House entrance. The bin on the right contains the corn husks from last August's end of year corn roast. Neither pile was turned, aerated or watered after their creation last summer.
Today, we added compost from the middle bin into the right hand bin, mixed it around with a shovel, tossed any big bits back into the left hand bin, then spread it on our onion beds.
Our goal is to have the two bins empty and ready to accept the husks from this year's corn roast on Saturday August 26.
