It's almost as good as jogging! (Right?) Composting, that is. This morning I pulled three wheelbarrows-full of new compost from one side of the pile, and mixed it all up again. Aerated it, watered it, and even gave it a dose of Medina Soil Activator. And I got it done before it was time to put the new grass clippings in! I have to confess that I did not screen the compost, though I did pull out all the huge grubs, larvae of the Green Fruit Beetle. Sometimes I toss them back into the compost pile and sometimes the blue jays get them.
Either way, I am feeling quite virtuous this morning and am off to have a celebratory Mexican lunch in honor of Cinco de Mayo!
By the way, I got this compost kit from Lee Valley Tools. It was easy to put together but I should have located it where I could reach it from all four sides.
