Let’s make this the place to share all our questions, ideas and results of any type of composting we can think of. Whether you’ve been composting for decades or just forgot to empty the green bin and doing bokashi by accident, let us know how and why you do things the way you do. Share your stories and your photos. Your designs, or designs you found online or perhaps in some cool old book you stumbled upon. Anything goes.
To kick off and introduce ourselves, why not drop a short messages on what your favourite composting methods are?
I’m currently doing a three-bin system for the kitchen scraps and yard waste (with some added horse manure to get things going whenever I fill up a new bin). That one actually gives me some amount of compost I use in said yard again.
Three months ago I also started a wannebe-Johnson-Su like bioreactor, so a cylinder shaped pile of shredded leafs and wood chips. It’s only 80~90cm in diameter and roughly 1m high so nowhere close to the actual Johnson-Su design, but it’s what I could make with the leafs/wood and the materials I had lying around.
Lastly I’ve got a very small vermicomposting setup, a bucket with the bottom cut out and some thick wire going back and forth for the bottom. This is more of a small scale continuous flow setup, which I have not harvested yet. Not too sure whether this thing is gonna work out, to be honest.
