Back in Action

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the long hiatus but we are certainly back for the summer season!

Last time I blogged we had just completed the first pile-- we have moved far beyond and now have 7 or 8 piles cooking and some compost ready to go into the 7 beds we have built.

We have been meeting every Thursday evening at 5:30 to turn the piles and build new ones. This week we used three bales of straw to complete our pile (a new record) and even decided to start naming the piles in the same fashion that hurricanes are named. We started with Abner. Also, we want to have a FEAST olympics in the fall with compost-dance competitions, wheelbarrow racing, plant and fungus identification and maybe, just maybe, a naked composting session.

More news to come soon.
