How long for compost to turn to "fluffy" black gold?
Comments (8)Re; Cow manure. Your compost is likly weed free judging from the origional contents. The manure is high in nitrogen which will restart the compost heating , but adding cow manure (fresh,old and crusty or otherwise) will probably contain a lot of weed seed. You would also reset the clock for composting the manure and thereby delaying when it will be totaly finished. Now,back to the unlimited supply of cow manure. It makes very good compost without other additions other than moisture.Just heap it up and keep it damp while turning same as you have been or skip the turning and get same result over a longer period. Back to your origional question about adding manure to incomplete compost made with leaves and kitchen scraps. That is a good idea once the manure has gone through initial high heat and decompsiton kill viability of seeds. Starting with manure mixed with other material is also fine since the high heat stage will occur. If you have room to maintain multiple piles/bins of compostiable material,that can actualy reduce time spent vs quanity of compost produced. As you found when you just let the material sit long enough without turning,it winds up fine compost. Toss every thing togeather in a "NURSE" pile as it becomes available or you can shanghai family and frinds as free labor in bringing it to the nurse pile. Continue with the two batchs as you are doing now paying attention to detail on moisture and turning while the nurse pile quitly go's about it's business with minium attention. When you are ready to start a new batch,pull material which is weeks or months along in the process from nurse pile and begain working it. There will be times when material has been in the nurse pile long enough to be finished and useably with little to no effort on your part other than gathering and moveing material to the pile....See MoreHelp me choose a Fluffy for my Snarky!
Comments (15)I know it's been a while and even the ending has ended, but I just thought that anyone interested in seeing what my 'Martin Frobisher' looks like as a bush wouldn't mind a little thread resurrection. My parents took this on Monday, and the rocks you can sort of make out in the lower left are already about two and a half feet above the ground where MF is planted (the border beds are terraced). I believe the shrub is about five or six feet high. My mother said the blooms have a nice, sweet, spicy fragrance (I'm assuming this means they're somewhat like rugosa); it also isn't terribly armed even by ordinary rose standards, so it's remarkably smooth for a rugosa. The look of the leaves and plant indicate strong influence from something else like R. beggeriana or R. laxa. My mother also spontaneously commented on how the blooms of 'Martin Frobisher' are almost identical in appearance to 'Marchesa Boccella' - which is planted in the bed above. Sorry for the wild color combinations, but this is one of the few places on the property where sun, soil and water make it possible to grow a lot of shrubs and perennials well, so the color scheme is "rainbow" to maximize what can be enjoyed there. It looks much better when viewed overall :) The plant is hardier than a rock in Minnesota, never any winter injury whatsoever.

Comments (7)WalnutCreek, I used to crack an egg into a custard cup and put it into the microwave when I was still working. Cook it hard, slap it onto an English Muffin and a quick breakfast sandwich. It was the occasional substitute for an english muffin with peanut butter when I accidentally ran out of peanut butter! I don't like microwaved eggs as well as I do those prepared in more conventional way, but they're fine in a pinch. I don't care for scrambled eggs at all, so never tried those, but I did show my granddaughter how to make french toast in the microwave, she does that before school sometimes. It's easy, just beat an egg with a couple of tablespoons of milk, add a little sugar and vanilla if you like, cube a slice of bread and add that, stir to make sure all the bread is covered and submerged as much as possible. Microwave 2 minutes, stick a knife in the middle to see if it's done. If not, cook 30 seconds at a time until it does test done. I have some of those small square corningware dishes, and they are the perfect size for the french toast. Annie...See Moresome dogs eat couches, some dogs eat fluffy beds...
Comments (13)oh wow, nannygoat! talk about getting caught red **handed**!! olivia's teeth are none the worse for wear and i, too, got a good laugh out of it. ya know, it's just "stuff". in the grand scheme of things, "stuff" isn't all that important to me. i mean, i like to have nice "stuff" and i do go to great pains to keep my "stuff" nice but still, it's just "stuff". it doesn't compare to the delight i feel when i see my 9 year old great dane having the time of her life! <3 socks, i had no idea there would be performing pigs in the circus. how funny! my pigs eat pellets specially made for pot bellied pigs. they love fruit of any kind (they will nibble on the rinds but when they get dried up, i toss them over the fence for the coons and possums to finish). they also love anything sweet, most especially marshmallows. lilly takes rimadyl for arthritis and all i have to do is poke the pill into a big marshmallow and it goes right down the hatch. try as i might, i can't get any of them to eat veggies except canned green beans!...See Morefoodonastump
