Here's some broccoli which has been nourished by compost from the pile. It's ready to be picked and steamed. We've become exceedingly spoiled by the produce we grow. There is nothing like picking something from the garden and preparing it for consumption, literally minutes later. The freshness is translated in to the final dish and the results are beyond compare. This is my personal stash of black gold and the amount of worms that have set up camp in my compost is simply magical. I've been making and using compost for years now but I am always surprised, inspired and grateful when I gaze upon its' soft dark mounds with worms curled throughout. This is going in to a couple of beds that I've been pampering.
I turned the bin this afternoon and found droves of happy red wrigglers.

Can you post pictures of your compost bin setup?
Hey Mary,
Yes, I will post pictures. I think I can snap a few today - I actually took the plans off the internet and built it myself. It was really easy - Just some chicken wire and a simple wood frame - no bottom or top. I would say it holds approx. two "green bins" worth of stuff. The green bins I'm referring to are the ones from Waste management.
Sweet thanks. I have a large bin that I bought from Waste mgmt, but I'm not really happy with it's design and function. I'm thinking of building a new set up or at least complimenting the current one.
