About a month ago we sifted the material in our oldest compost bin. It seemed like it had done all the cooking it was going to do in its present state and it was time to see what we had.
We bought some 1/4 in screen and stapled it on a wooden frame and just went for it.
There was still a lot of stuff that had yet to break down - you can see the some seeds and a lot of eggshells.

We filled about 8 five gallon tubs with this incredible "black gold" - that's what they call it - a miraculous transformation - total success on a New York City rooftop. Now if everyone took their kitchen scraps and ..... "what a wonderful world it would be".Well at least a small step.

Hello
Looks like you have a great harvest there!
I had a couple of questions
Did you get any maggots in your compost bins? I seem to have a whole tribe living in mine. Any suggestions about what can be done in such a situation?
Also, I'm curious to know what was your method for composting?
