Celebrating one month composting anniversary :)

Today, I celebrate a month of 'not sending wet waste to the landfill', i.e the anniversary of my pot composting activity.
Some pictures to give you an idea of what I have been upto. This is the sight for each morning. So I get up each morning and hurry to my backyard :)



I pile in my wet waste and then cover it with a layer of dry leaves.


My friends are: The rake (that helps me in stirring), the activator EM solution (kept in the coca-cola bottle), dry leaves, neem cake powder (to control maggots) and the lemongrass spray (that keeps the flies away and controls the odor) :D

Here is a pic of the middle tier pot which got filled up in around 20-25 days. Its in a semi-decomposted state (with everything inside it turned black!) Will take another month for it to get fully decomposed :)
