Last night was a team effort.  I worked in the garden, digging out early spring weeds, while Ryan managed the compost rotation.  He removed the freshest layer of organic matter off the top of the first bin and brought the rest to the garden in wheel-barrow loads.  Around 10 loads of gardener’s black gold were shoveled from bin #1 onto the top of the freshly-weeded garden.

With bin #1 empty, Ryan was able to start a fresh pile of matter composting.  Yay!  Two more compost bins to go, plus the remaining composted manure.  We’ll get there.  My goal was to have at least enough transferred to the garden so I could work a plot big enough for the cold-weather veggies.  They’re going in tonight!

This is exciting.  I love this time of year.
