Compost

Last week I took some time on a dry day to harvest the compost. We use Green Cone composters and I switch between two, filling one, while the other digests. I managed to get over 20 gallons of soil from it.

The harvest was some wonderfully rich soil. Only pistachio shells take longer than a year to break down.


I have taken to putting pistachio shells in the yard waste each week as Cedar Grove crushes the waste promoting faster decomp. Now I only need to wait for Tilth's plant sale.

In other garden news, the garlic is plugging along just fine and about 6-8" high.
