#compostpost

Got more gas so feeling more chipper! 🥳 . Big pile o’ branches & leaves reduced to wee chips 🤓👍 I’m sure the 95°F/35°C heat helped break everything down (or was that just me? 🫠) . Landworks 7hp chipper can deal with a lot of heavy stuff up to 3”, & also has a helluva blower—started digging a trench at the bottom of the compost cage! 😮 . Also mos def need a wire backstop to catch the chips, unless you want to send them flying into your neighbor’s garage 😬 . Can wait to use on the kabillion lemon tree branches the HOA at my kids’ place wants me to prune! 🥳 . #FeelingChipper #FeelingMulchBetter #MulchAdoAboutKnotting #CompostPost #Compost #MakeYourOwnMulch #Woodchipper #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4-wOLvH6p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Was feeling pretty chipper with my new toy until it ran out of gas a few branches in 🙃 . But with 7 horses & a 3” diameter capacity, already liking it very mulch 🤓👍 . Kickin’ my compost up a notch 🤘😎 . #PathwaysHereWeCome #LoveYouSoMulch #CompostPost #ToughChip #BlewIt #Chipper #Mulch #Compost #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf0F1Wcr3Xf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Werkin’ it ✊🏻 Half a pile turn, mainly to sift a couple wheelbarrow’s worth of compost / castings (so. many. worms!) to start prepping raised beds. . Also a heckuva abs & buns workout 🤓👍 Will finish the second half of the bin tomorrow—need to pull more weeds for more green matter. . 2nd photo: left pile potting soil, right pile today’s compost/castings harvest. . 3rd: #BlackGold . #CompostPost #HolySift #HardCoreWorkout #WishIHadATrommel 😓 #Compost #堆肥 #CompostBins #SiftingCompost #Castings #WormCastings #NorCal #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVSyFyPCoP/?utm_medium=tumblr

While turning my compost pile, I went to sift some out for my raised beds & SPLAT! Hella worms splattered all over the wheelbarrow sides! 😬 First time that’s ever happened. Guess a lot of wormbabies in the pile. Good for the garden! 🤓👍 . Photo looks like some modern art with some fab textures 😎 . #AvantGarden #SeeWhatSticks #ShakeItLikeACompostSifter #ShakeItWormBaby #CompostPost #BinThereDoneThat #Worms #Worm #ミミズ #VerDeTerre #WormsOfInstagram #BabyWorm #Compost #堆肥 #コンポスト #Vermicompost #GrowTheSoil #NorCal #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ1Oq0mrtTj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Go from feeling wiped to totally tubular! . Remember: your “brown” 💩 is actually a “green” in composteese (& should be compoosted separately for at least a year or two before) 🙏 . Your TP rolls, on the other (washed) hand, are a great source of “brown”—carbon. Bonus: the spaces provided by the tubes, as they crush unevenly, & egg cartons help provide air to prevent anaerobic goblins from growing inside your pile. . Speaking of piles of steaming brown goodness—your used coffee grounds are also a “green”—rich in nitrogen & needs the worms / composting process to transmogrify into a form plants can feast on. . Something to contemplate next time you’re sipping coffee while on the can 🤔 . #DontWasteYourWaste #LetTheGoodTimesRoll #Compoost #CompostPost #Compost #BrownsAndGreens #Carbon #Nitrogen #CompostBin #WinterGardening #NorCal #Zone9Gardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFZgY-Ao_k/?igshid=13h58k11psbst

New leaves settling into left bin as “old” compost finishes in right bin . It takes a lot o’ leaves to fill a bin! They keep dleaflating 🤣 . I do layer in thin spreads of coffee grounds & some compost from the right bin to get more microbes movin’. But lots & lots of leaves—got many more bags to collect from the neighborhood & parks 🙄 . #LeafItToMe #LoveYouSoMulch #CompostPost #FallIntoAutumn #Compost #Leaf #葉っぱ #Feuilles #LeafPile #LeafPhotography #CompostBin #CompostBinsOfInstagram #NorCal #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQldSlA_hU/?igshid=aan2xng3qq1e
