August Garden, Compost

 

When I took some compost material to the composter today, the previous additions had quite collapsed, so, I decided to remove some of the browned material from the elephant ears, and accessible plantain leaves which had turned brown, as well as any green, misplaced leaves.  This yielded a full composter, once again DSC07388 Composter full of leaves.

DSC07390 I watered the compost with a hose, and so it collapsed a little.

DSC07391 I put the lid back on and rotated the composter a couple of times.  When the sun hits it tomorrow morning, it will heat up, and hasted the decomposition of the newly added material.  I am going to watch it to see how long it takes to collapse big time.  In the meantime there are plenty of other garden tasks to do.
