Full bin heating nicely.
Must collect fresh horse manure.
So good for the compost.
I stole, I mean I was inspired by, luckygal's posting on the Compost Feedings thread.
Please add your own!

Rising off the pile
Held my breath, thought it was mold
No, no, wait! That's steam! (When I went to turn my pile, I thought there were clouds of mold spores blowing off through the air. It grossed me out, and I didn't want to inhale them, but then I stuck my hand near, and realized that it was, in fact, steam! And then I squealed like a little girl, and danced around in my yard. I wasn't sure my 18-gallon plastic tote would be able to heat up, much less produce steam on an almost 80 degree day, so that was way, way exciting! I did hit one patch that didn't smell so good, but on the whole, it just smells kind of... earthy?) |

*warmer* gardener,
surely you must mean *warmer*!
compost pile is warm! gardner reminds me
Happiness is warm compost.

RE: Compost Haiku

Heat builds up slowly
Then explodes in an orgy
Of putrefaction Inside the warm pile
A particle of sunlight
Transmutes into soil Sturdy garden tools —
A fork’s a fork for all that:
Thus we turn the heap |
RE: Compost Haiku
| | |
