The bad news is that I’m stuck for a blog post. The good news is that it didn’t happen until day 17. I’m pretty pleased that I made it this far before getting stuck.
In lieu of having anything meaningful to post (I know, when has that stopped me?) I’ll share a photo of part of my first batch of successful compost from two weeks ago:

I need to start a compost section….another project for this spring…
I really stressed about doing this – it took me a good year to finally get the project going, and now that it is, it’s way easier than I thought it would be. I’m pretty casual about amounts of nitrogen vs. other nutrients; we just compost food scraps, yard waste and ashes from our wood stove.
