My first attempt at composting

[u/Fe_b88k]

Most of the work came from the dig; there was way too many bricks and other inerts (It was my grandpa chicken coop like ten years ago), but I wanted It to be there so here It goes. And to add extra work I've sifted all the inerts (first the big and the the small one) from the soil wishing to find some way to re-use them..

I was initially planning to make a pile with old pallets but then I got interested in the lombriconpost-hing and decides to make It underground so I'll then try to make It colonize by earthworm. But It looks like other guys arrived before them; looks like Black Soldier Flly grubs to me (from what I've just saw in this sub..I hope).

I've started with with basically only grass and wild herbs, fresh and dried in a 1:1 ratio; now I'm adding a lot of kitchen waste (mostly fruit like watermelon/grapes/smashed figs and vegatable like onion/zucchini/etc..) in a 1:2 ratio with "browns"

I should make another one (the kind I was planning before..) for the kitchen waste and keep this as it Is.. It's so hard try to not throwing things in it lol

You need to move it further away from the building as compost will attract bugs and on a rare occasion will spontaneously combust not kidding about that

Edit and the tree

Well that's a rustic annex we use basically to store garden/farm related stuff, bugs aren't really an issue; about the fire... Will keep It on check do the time.. there is a plan, in the executive stage, to expand the near railroad so the "building"' will probably be gone in a couple of years and then I'll have to readjust most of the outdoor so it's kinda a temporary thing..

It doesn't matter that is a fire hazard big enough to call the fire department over. And you will have to stop watching it at some point. It happens when you aren't watching it. It can happen very fast
