composting

Upgraded from a tumbler after moving from a town to the countryside. I’m very exited to see how this goes! Any tips are welcome.

I make no excuses.

If at all. I know some folks just let it sit and go low and slow....

This is a simple game but it’s challenging! If you are thinking about starting a worm bin but you’re not sure if you understand the guidelines, maybe this game can help. I’ve been maintaining a bin for about 8 months but I keep losing at this game pretty quickly lol

For years I’ve been taking a pee jug along when I go camping. I buy a 2-gallon jug of kitty litter and keep the nice wide-mouth jug it comes in. They’re firm plastic and have a nice handle. I keep one right outside my tent for midnight pees. Way easier than hoofing all the way to the bathrooms or whatever....

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.

Can anyone help me identify these long white worms in the compost ? The red worms don't seem to be bothered by them. Not sure if they are good / bad....

My neighbors were getting rid of these pallets and I was able to snatch them up before they hit the curb for trash day. I have been toying with the idea of building/buying a compost bin since starting up a backyard garden over the past few weeks and couldn't turn down the opportunity....

i live in alaska and i've started doing some very slapdash lazy composting. i bought a wire pet pen off amazon for $35ish that comes in 8 panels, and then i split that into two 4 panel segments, and then i staked & zip tied them behind my shed to form two wire boxes and i've been tossing yard & kitchen veg waste in there willy...

Hello, I am exploring Lemmy due to Reddit's changes, and I wanted to become more involved with Solarpunk. I volunteered to help moderate this community which will hopefully make me lurk less and contribute more. Hope everyone is doing well!

This is our local park composting setup for leaves and grass, not long after having removed finished material. Leaves (browns) are abundant in late winter, and grass is abundant in summer. Water is usually an issue, as volunteers who take leaves don't have time to wet everything down, so that usually gets resolved when we turn...

I have a happy worm bin that takes care of most of my composting needs. I use the castings around my garden, mostly when I'm planting something new, but I also feed my established plants with it when I can....

Just stumbled upon this documentary trailer, and I find it highly inspiring. I've been thinking about asking my municipality how they/we could stimulate composting at home, but an approach as I understand from this short trailer would be so much cooler....
