For hot composting, aim for a 50% moisture level: Materials should be about as wet as a wrung-out sponge, so only a drop or two of water comes out when you squeeze a handful. Repeat the process, alternating green and brown layers, adding soil or compost activator, and watering each ...
During summer, if I am deadheading or cleaning up plants, I just cut and drop. If the plant is near the front of the bed, I fling the cut piece behind a larger plant to make things look neater. In fall, all leaves are left where they drop, provided it is in a flower/shrub bed...
“Garbage Bag Harvesting Method”– Not sure why it took me so long to post this one. Better late than never, I guess! Anyway, this one outlines my passive method for moving worms to a new system, while harvesting vermicompost in the process. If the new system is set up ahead of time...
Then I can drag out the container and drop a new on in. I wonder ... with a system like that ... I wonder if it is possible that you might never need to empty it. Organic matter keeps breaking down and breaking down and eventually becomes nothing but gasses. One might say that...
There should be clover going to seed in public places near you, if you want to plant that. You can pick a bunch of the little dry flower balls that crumble easily, plus maybe a little soil from below them. Maybe mix this all with some reasonably stiff mud and break off little balls,...

Not a composting toilet in the true sense of the word - it dries out the pooh enabling one to cart it off for further treatment. Big plus is the 'no water' required (exept for cleaning the drop chute once a day/as required) Invasive plant shavings are used to cover wet waste (curren...
Polymers 2017, 9, 561 5 of 16 Water contact angle was evaluated by using the sessile drop method. Contact angles of the drops were measured by means of a MV-50 camera, 6× zoom, and images were taken by using NIH imaging software. The measurement values represent the mean value of 10...
Subsequently, a slight drop occurred by the 12th week in the concentration of certain degradation products (e.g., BDO), yet their residual concentrations remained relatively high. This suggests that active composting was still taking place, and microbial degradation continually progressed even at this...
