Compost glasnost
So here’s my compost as of the 12th:

I think you can see those Alaska peas that didn’t make it, some photosynthetically unfortunate tomato leaves, banana peels, coffee grounds, some old garlic and various cutting-board scrapings in there. Since, I’ve added green Bell pepper remnants.
About my compost, I keep wondering: when and how am I supposed to use this stuff? The time for planting is long past (though that hasn’t stopped me, as you’ll see in an imminent post) and I can’t imagine the hot bacterial mess keeping long over the winter. I guess I could, you know, look this stuff up online, but this blog is made of dilemmas and I will not deny my mistress the cravings of her rapacious maw.
