Axiom the DogeHere's the idea, using a 3-bay system: My compost mainly consists of manure and straw from my rabbitsWine Caps are typically grown in straw or wood chips, so they should be very happy in the first bay. The almond mushrooms will be in the second bay where they can enjoy the partially composted straw and manure.Then the compost will be moved to the third bay where it can age and allow the mycellium to die off before being used in the garden. <a href="https://fiberart.club/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#composting</a> <a href="https://fiberart.club/tags/mushroomComposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushroomComposting</a>

Axiom the DogeJust ordered some gourmet mushroom cultures! I got Almond Mushrooms (Agaricus blazei) and Wine Caps (Stropharia rugosoannulata)I'm going to dip my toes into mushroom composting ... to goal is to get both species to naturalize in my piles 🤞<a href="https://fiberart.club/tags/mushrooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushrooms</a> <a href="https://fiberart.club/tags/mushroomGrowing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushroomGrowing</a> <a href="https://fiberart.club/tags/mushroomComposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushroomComposting</a> <a href="https://fiberart.club/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#composting</a>

BroadforkI gave the hot compost another turn. It was still at 55°C but falling. The temperature was 42°C after the turn. The pile was watered to help the microbial activity build the temperature once more. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a>

DoomsdaysCWThe 1 thing gardeners forget to water during hot weather that's essential to plant healthTaking care of gardens during the summer can be a challenge, especially during a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/heatwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatwave</a>, but there's one thing you should never forget to water.By Sydney Evans, Audience Writer, Spare Time Fri, Jun 20, 2025Excerpt: "In a video posted on Instagram, gardening enthusiast @cookseyfarms reminded gardeners of watering this one thing, and said: 'Don’t forget — your compost needs to be watered too sometimes!'"Many gardeners keep and use homemade compost, using weeds, shredded wood and even vegetable scraps. Not only does compost improve soil structure, but the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) explains that it can also boost moisture retention in fast-draining soils."However, compost that has become dry won't be of any use in your garden as the beneficial bacteria and fungi need moisture to break down organic matter, making it hard for compost to decompose and essentially do its job."Source: <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/garden/2071463/one-thing-gardeners-forget-water-compost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/garden/2071463/one-thing-gardeners-forget-water-compost</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeatWaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HeatWaves</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KeepingCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeepingCool</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningInAHeatWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningInAHeatWave</a>

Broadfork<a href="https://regenerate.social/@tickfoot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tickfoot</a> It’ll be interesting to see what you find.From researching Johnson-Su compost, the making of which is a year long process, Dr.Johnson says for the first 6 months the compost is bacterially dominant but then the next 6 months the fungi really starts to take over as the compost matures. Good luck, happy experimenting. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a>

BroadforkThe compost heap has had another turn. Outside to inside. 🤞 It will heat up again to above 55°C and then I’ll let it cool down gradually. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a>

BroadforkI finally got around to moving the compost pile for the first time in 6 weeks. I started making this compost in December and it’s looking pretty nice. It will make a good mulching compost for some of the beds next spring. The hot compost has hit the red zone so🤞will continue to stay above 55°C for two more days when it will be turned again. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Mulch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mulch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Allotment</a>

BroadforkThe hot compost has been turned once and, as an afterthought I added some more compostable material to the outside. The pile will be turned again later this week. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Allotment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a>

Michael / Chgowiz 🎲🎲Garden update:- Final seedling to planting is happening. I put 2 bell pepper plants into buckets. These look more healthy than the tomatoes did.- The sad nasturtiums are liking the ground! They're not huge, but they're improved. 2 of them didn't make it but after how sad they looked from my greenhouse, I'm happy some survived!- That compost pile is getting good - put some into the pepper buckets. Much better than what I put into the tomato buckets. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/VegetableGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VegetableGarden</a>

Michael / Chgowiz 🎲🎲Compost update - I built compost bins this spring out of repurposed pallets. Since then, I've broken ALL the composting rules. I didn't lasagna, didn't worry about brown to green ratios. All my organic, yard, food waste went on the pile. (except meat).It was about 9 cubic feet or so in size but since compressed. Today, I flipped it to the 2nd bin, so the 1st would be availableIt's working better than expected! A lot of compost already in what I turned over. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#composting</a>

For Pete's Sake!Got myself this tool for turning our <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> bins. It's really handy and works great. It doesn't so much "turn" as "churn"It drills down easily, then you pull it out, rinse and repeat.

DoomsdaysCWLarger chunks (which will go into the working pile), and fine soil (which I'll use for container plants and soil amendment in my gardens).

DoomsdaysCWOne composter is the "working" composter, while the other one contains composted soil. The composted soil sometimes has little bits of stuff in it. Using two sieves, I separate the big bits from the finer soil. The larger chunks go into the working pile, while the sifted ones are what I use for container plants and / or to amend the garden soil. Here are the two sieves, and also is what the combined soil looks like...<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningHacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningHacks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compost</a>

DoomsdaysCWSo, I did some research on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CooperativeExtension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CooperativeExtension</a> websites last night for today's <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> . It seems that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UMaineCooperativeExtension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UMaineCooperativeExtension</a> is one of the few that has a lot of free advice (many others have workshops, some with fees).
