Compost Update #3

I set this page - the left side - out to compost on May 20th 2014. It didn't take very long for the ink from the drawings to be washed away and fade in the sun. 

The Garden Gnomes have been doing a great job watching the composting process. They love tedious jobs like this along with watching grass grow, paint dry, berries ripen.

Over the last few months there has been a lot of sun in Vancouver, which was odd. Vancouver has the reputation for being very rainy. Especially the North Shore which I was told once got 20% more rain than the rest of the city - blame the mountains.

I don't actually know if that's true or not. Vancouver folks are oddly proud of our rain and proud to be able to complain about it too.

But really we need to get over ourselves. It's been much drier here over the years and we're probably pretty average or normal when it comes to rainfall at this point. This is just a thought based on observation. I've done no research in to weather pattern changes because I'm pretty sure it will just freak me out.

Anyhoo...

Here is the composting page as of yesterday. This is 69 days into the process and it's almost completely gone. It's pretty cool, in my humble opinion.
