#AerobicComposting, also known as #HotComposting, uses native microorganisms instead of worms to break down organic matter. Like #Vermicompost, hot composting diverts kitchen waste away from landfills, but instead of feeding worms, you’re feeding the microbes! Proper layering of #GreenWaste and #BrownWaste ensures your compost pile is healthy, active, and thriving. Brown waste helps oxygen flow through your pile and creates oxygen pockets, but turning your pile over ensures your microbes get the oxygen they need. For best results, look up the green waste to brown waste ratios as they will differ depending on the materials used. At #DigDeepFarms Ardenwood, we have two active piles: one at the end of the process and ready for use (slide 3) and the other just beginning (slide 4). With an abundance of green and brown waste at the farm, we use our Bobcat to help turn the compost. #Composting #OrganicFarming #WasteReduction #Sustainability #Microorganisms #HealthySoil #HomeComposting #UrbanFarming #CompostEducation #ZeroWaste #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth #CircularEconomy

Stop by the @valleycenterlibrary on Saturday, June 8th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for our All About Worms Workshop, sponsored by the @countyofsandiego. There, you'll learn how to compost with worms, set up a worm bin, care for your worms, and use the castings properly once harvested! Register through the "Workshops" link in bio. Vermicomposting is a great way to try out composting, even if you can't set aside the time or space for the traditional kind. 🪱 Worm bins can be set up outside in the shade, or inside in a well-ventilated area; they're perfect for apartment dwellers who would like to sustainably process their food scraps and create soil amendments for potted plants. 🪴 They're also great for people who want to harvest their compost sooner! #valleycenter #valleycenterevents #kumeyaayland #solanacenter #allaboutworms #vermicomposting #wormcomposting #redwigglerworms #compost #composteducation #paumavalley #rincon #escondido #sanmarcos #hiddenmeadows #learntocompost #vermicompostingeducation #gardening #savetheearth #sustainableliving

Happy Composting Awareness Week!! Composting is the process of decaying and reusing organic materials. By putting organic materials in your compost bin, you divert waste from the landfill waste stream and reduce your ecological footprint. If you'd like to learn about the composting process and craft your own compost bin, check out our YouTube Channel!

“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.” - Wendell Berry Inspired after a regenerative time with amazing people exploring islands of life in the big city of Vancouver. Our journey took us to a favorite urban site I have been taking classes to for over 15 years: City Farmer. Since 1978, @cityfarmervancouver has been teaching people how to grow food in the city, compost their waste and take care of their home landscape in an environmentally responsible way. For four decades City Farmer has encouraged urban dwellers to pull up a patch of lawn and plant some vegetables, herbs and fruit. We presented City Farmer founder, the extraordinary Michael Levenston with a Permaculture Design Deck, a token of our gratitude for the hundreds of thousands of children and adults, locals and travellers from all over the world that him and his team have educated through their extraordinary demonstration site for composting, vermiculture and the many things these can give life to.

It’s officially International Compost Awareness Week! ( #ICAW) Running this year from May 5th through May 11th, this is an opportune time to zero in on approachable solutions to supporting climate resiliency on both a local, national and international level. 🌍 SiStained8 will be celebrating ICAW by engaging our awesome followers in SiStainable compost trivia over the next few days. Check our IG stories… To start, did you know that when compost is added to soil, it increases its ability to hold water—making soil more resilient to events of flooding? 🌎Next, SiStained8 will continue the celebration on Saturday (May 11th) with our weekly Food Waste Drop Off at 1pm (sign up link in bio). Let’s stop wasting time 😮‍💨⏰—because solutions are right here right now.

Just some gardening updates with the new tomatoes and looking at how the strawberries are Loving the new bed and you can see the worm castings are working their magic. Unfortunately I thought I had the "stick" tree in focus but it has a lot of buds starting and the apple cultivars are really throwing some beautiful leaves.

Late last month, Bootstrap delivered 2 yards (or about 2,500 pounds) of our castings-infused compost to the 8 places of learning that comprise North Andover Public Schools. This vibrant community of admin, teachers and students in grades preschool through 12 is among Bootstrap's biggest consortium of waste slayers. Props to these schools and this community for their long commitment to wise resource management, compost education, and their practical use of the finished product for their fields and gardens. #WhyWeBootstrap, #NorthAndover, #SchoolComposting, #SchoolGardens, #WormCastings, #CompostEducation

Been working the lights and really just adding some water and more soil to the potatoes. I reset my sunflowers and corn and added some white yarrow that is just starting to sprout. The basil, eggplant, celery, and dill 😅😔are really starting to take off. I'm kinda sad because I'm pretty sure my dill was mismarked as rosemary.... It's okay I understand that mistakes happen but damn it I don't know what to do with so much dill lmao 🤣😂 and finally I bought some tongs that work amazing but then what do I see on tiktok yesterday? A new soil block setup that is three different sized blockers that make stacking your first blocks that you start seeds in and allow you to stack the blocks that the seeds start in into a bigger size and then one more size. What I like is that it allows you to move the seeds that move faster into the next size and you don't need any plastic..... #selfsufficient #selfsufficiency #sustainableliving #sustainability #seedstarting #herbgarden #plantsmakepeoplehappy #growyourownfood #growfood #grow #vegitablegarden #gardening #garagegarden #gardeningtips #homegarden #compostingworms #compostlife #smallfarm #composteducation #workinprogress #sustainability #wormfarming #wormfarmer #selfmastery #compostingisfun #selfmasteryinprogress

Well the potatoes are off to a great start. You can see where I pulled up the old corn 🌽 that didn't survive my felines appetite for seedlings. So I replanted some more corn, sunflowers, and some flowers. As you can see the rest of the plants are doing very well I'm going to begin transitioning them outside this weekend. #selfsufficient #selfsufficiency #sustainableliving #sustainability #seedstarting #plantsmakepeoplehappy #growyourownfood #growfood #growfoodnotlawns #vegitablegarden #gardening #garagegarden #gardeningtips #homegarden #compostingworms #compostlife #compostbin #composteducation #workinprogress #sustainability #wormfarming #wormfarmer #selfmastery #compostingisfun #selfmasteryinprogress

What Is Compost: As we investigate further in what compost is and how it is broken down the children started a seven week scientific study to observe, hypothesis, experiment, and collect data…to conclude what organic and inorganic waste is and how it decomposes over time. The children were given 6 items…an apple core, leaf, bread, plastic bottle cap, aluminum foil, and paper. Each was placed in a jar with living soil from our forest and the children will observe and record weekly changes within each jar. Our hopes through this study is that they become familiar with vocabulary such as decomposer, microorganism, organic/inorganic waste, compost, ect. As well as to understand deeply what is needed for decomposition to occur. To see the amazing relationship within our ecosystem, as well as the overall impact we have on our Earth to divert organic waste from the landfills. These are the Children of our Earth, inquiring deeply ~* #seedkeepersforestschool #outdooreducation #stemeducation #waldorfinspired #forestkindergartensandnaturepreschools #forestschoolskills #forestschools #composteducation #scientificmethodforkids

I’m excited to volunteer with @saveourcompost & @cfzw_design to co-facilitate these free teaching-ins. 3 online and in-person + 1 online only event. ・・・ A LOT happened last month for NYC’s community composting programs. 100% of city funding was eliminated. While some orgs received private funding to continue scaled down operations, the impacts are far reaching: many food scrap drop-offs (FSDOs) and most composting sites are closed, the master composter training program is defunded, and much more. So where does that leave us now? Come find out at one of our teach-ins this month in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and on Zoom! Link in bio for info and registration! Huge thanks to @qplnyc @bklynlibrary @nypl for hosting these in-person events and @bigreuse for the professional support. 🪱⚖️ #SaveOurCompost #NYCompost #MakeCompostNotTrash #WasteLessNYC #ZeroWasteNYC #CompostEducation

We are building a big bin. We believe bold actions such as those of our brilliant elected representatives (read City Council members’ letter - link in bio) will bring NYC community composters a brighter 2024. In the meantime, can you please help us reach our $16k end of year fundraising goal? @governorsisland @mill @nyczerowaste @nyccompostproject @marineaffairspolicy @nycmayor @cmcrystalhudson @cmsandynurse @cmjuliewon @cmvpaladino @cmpeterkoo @cmchiosse @cmdianaayalanyc @chrismartenyc @manhattan_swab @marklevinenyc @assemblymancalabrese @assemblymancalabrese @repjerrynadler @galeabrewer #saveourcompost #aeratedstaticpile #composteducation #compostlearningcenter #mastercomposter

And just like that, we’re halfway through presenting our 2023 recap! Here’s Bootstrap's 5th MILESTONE of the year (which features our favorite rescue pup turned farm dog, Bubba). We entered into a formal partnership with Cobble Hill Farm Education & Rescue Center @c_h_farm , a 25-acre Williamstown destination run by former Massachusetts governor and unabashed compost nut @janemswift Here we teach kids and tend to the soil in one fell swoop.  #WhyWeBootstrap, #StrategicPartnerships, #CompostCreation, #CompostEducation, #FarmDogs

NYC's save compost rally 🗽𓆑 Earlier this month on December 6th, city compost workers, enthusiasts, and environmentalists gathered outside of New York City’s city hall to protest budget cuts that would end funding to the city’s community compost programs. The only protest in recent memory to feature a full worm-bin demo, dozens of New Yorkers had come together to show their solidarity with the soil. Chants were led by masked green superhero Queen GreenFeen, a New York native who promotes environmental sustainability through hip hop. Throngs of supporters held homemade signs, and a pair of compost workers near the back of the crowd donned mushroom hats. Though the atmosphere was light-hearted, the reality of what was at stake under a looming December 31 deadline lent a somber tone. New budget cuts would not just bring an end to funding for the NY Compost Project. At the time of the rally under the proposed budget cuts, almost 200 of community composting sites would be shut down and over 100 workers were at risk of losing their jobs. Compost advocates will have you know there is a difference between the outputs of community compost and the city-run compost program. Community-run composting sites generate rich, nutrient-dense soil that is then redistributed to community gardens and parks across the city. City-managed compost, on the other hand, is being transformed into an engineered bioslurry, or EBS, with major system failures that not only advance climate change, but also portend cracks in Mayor Adams’ ambitious mandatory composting plan, which is set to roll out across all five boroughs by 2025. In order to create a more vibrant, sustainable future it's important to first acknowledge the interdependence of our communities, our resources, and our environment. . . .

Earth Matter NY, @lesecologyctr , and @bigreuse received a ray of light this Solstice Eve from @mill and friends with an incredible donation of $350,000 to keep our local compost operations alive and staff employed. We are so grateful for the immense support from individuals and organizations who rally with us, call their elected officials, demand budget restoration, and donate to us in these crucial moments. Continue to support these efforts by signing the petition, contacting your council members, the Mayor, DSNY Commissioner Tisch, donating directly to affected community composters, and sharing the word to people you know to take action as well. Links to the press release, petition, and donation page in our bio. #communitycomposting #composteducation #nyccompostproject #saveourcompost

What a treat to swap out the home office (for a few hours, anyway) for a home on the range. Thank you, @janemswift and Cobble Hill Farm Education & Rescue Center @c_h_farm, for hosting Bootstrap and lining up several dozen (!!!) 5th graders to hear us blaaaather on about the evils of methane gas and the importance of carbon-to-nitrogen ratios. And what a terrific group of young scholars (from Lanesborough Elementary School) they were! So inquisitive. Quote of the day about compost: “It’s like soil but it’s not soil.” #DropMic, #WhyWeBootstrap, #LanesboroughMA, #Williamstown, #CompostEducation, #TeachingSustainability

Compost is a very labor intensive process from pick up, turning piles for 8 months, correcting composition of compost for best results, sifting and finally delivery!!! Composting is a huge process especially if done correctly! Turning education about compost is key! Decrease you impact on landfills, decrease methane and give soul nutrition is that we are all about! #curbsidecompost #curbsidefoodscraps #laborofcompost #composteducation #thecompostchick #chickencomposting
