Original post from The Compost Bin.
Yesterday’s weather was in the forties for a first time in ages. I don’t think it’s been that warm yet in 2009. So, of course, I took a walk around the yard and visited the garden.
Since the yard is still mostly covered in snow, there’s not a lot to see. And there really isn’t anything going on in the compost bins.
These leaves have compacted down quite a bit. In the fall, the bins were filled to the top but as you can see now, we’re about half full.

Great post! Every week, I buy lots of organic fruits and vegetables, wash them carefully and then I prepare them for cooking. I pull off the ugly leaves, I remove the flesh from the rind, I cut off the ends, I remove the outer layers, etc. I use only the most tender and tastiest parts of the vegetables for my clients. This leaves a large pile of organic kitchen scraps that is perfect for composting, I’ve been saying I need to compost, for a long time. This year, I’ve joined a CSA with Sang Lee Farms and I expect to get large quantities of fruits and vegetables that will create piles of kitchen scraps for composting. Well this year, I’ve taken another step to be greener by purchasing a composter and setting it up behind my shed.
Thanks for letting see what happens in the winter.
Keep it up!
Namaste, Chef Vanda
