Greens & Dreams

Documenting my urban farm

Kale and Onions April 1st/May 26th

I’ve been very excited about Hot Composting Lately!  I built a pile a few days ago with a few months worth of chicken bedding (straw with chicken poop), grass cuttings, some yard debris and bark.  We even added a dead bird that flew into the window and died.  Even moisture like a wet rung out sponge is ideal.  I have plastic over the top so the compost is protected from the rain.  I plan on turning the pile every 4 or 5th day and in about 6 weeks I should have compost for the garden that is weed and slug free.      

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away; but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars.
