Some examples of working compost sites:


The Lincoln School Organic Farm

Lincoln Compost

Here is an example of the Indore method at work. Layers of food and grass clippings (nitrogen) and twigs and leaves (carbon) only need to be turned twice in a 12-week period before super nutritious humus is ready.


Marja’s Garden


This three-bin structure is ideal for The University of California method of composting, where the materials are turned frequently, providing super aeration and quick decomposition. By moving the pile from one bin to another, the materials on the outside go to the core, where the heat is. When the compost is finished the humus can be placed in the third bin while the new pile can be turned in the first two.
