Composting

DANC, my continuous compost attempt. Digest food, activate with compost tea, nuke with paper and yard mulch and cure in quarter cubic yard batches every 6-8 weeks.


Starting a new compost pile and tried to intuit a small continuous cycle rather than a single pit. Had the previous owners leave some bins behind but added a wire dog fence. Throwing scrapes directly in the pen attracted a lot of vermin so I started a second pile. That attracted a lot of gnats so I started a compost tea with larvae dunks but also to speed up food digesting. Finally started a new nuke batch today. Hopefully the compost tea gets it steaming soon. Not shown is a 2”x32” auger I use for tearing wet paper and aerating the nuke pile, a wheelbarrow and a thermometer to track everything.
