Tote #8

Today I went to Walmart and purchased another 13 gallon tote.  I've been thinking that I need to tidy up the porch.  I decided to buy another tote and convert one of the larger into a compost tote to keep the rest of the leaves and shredded material I have as well as to use up the table scraps.

So this afternoon I put a couple inches of leaves and shred in the bottom of the tote, mostly leaves, and then some table scraps, including some orange peels and coffee grounds.  Then I covered that with a layer of the garden soil.  I didn't add water because the soil is so wet.  Then I transferred the soil from the big tote to it.  In the process I found about 12 worms of good size and about 4-5 very little ones, like like they are the next generation.  It made me very happy to see so many worms of such good size and alive.

I used nearly all the soil to fill the new tote and then put all of the extra leaves and shred in the large tote.

I'm still hoping to get this tree cut down but SK is balking even though they dont care two hoots, it's the city's tree.  But the city man was talking to Jason about it and the tree on the NW side this afternoon.
