Today I tackled the 3rd and final compost bin. This one was the fullest, and I had no volunteers to help me. It was almost to the top with fairly composted materials.
I removed the top layer of half composted material and added it to bin #2. But after only a few shovel fulls I realized that the top 3-4 inches were semi-composted, and the remaining 3-feet was well composted material!
Look at how well broken down this is. I used this to top dress my short rows some more.
I got about 12 wheelbarrow load out of this bin, and then called it a day. I can continue adding this compost to the rows once planting begins. I tell you, I am always amazed how composting works. I just seems like magic.
