Community Composting: Compostory's 8/4 Podcast

Check out Compostory.Org's latest podcast  "The Organic Stream" at about the 5 minute mark. It's an interview with David Buckel from Added Value Red Hook Community Farm about community composting in NYC. He stresses the importance of  "closing the circle" of food production to compost and educating the public about the benefits of composting.

New Batch of Compost

We stopped adding new scraps to our third bin on June 1st and started sifting mid-July. 

We have some great, earthy black gold, as they say. 

 

Here's some of the "un-compost" discovered during the sifting process -

 fruit stickers, plastic ties, plastic caps, rubberbands, glass and so on.  That stuff doesn't break down as fast as the organic matter.
