Bike load, that is.
150 pounds of finely sifted compost went to my friend's house today for her fruit trees and garden before we headed over to
Solar Rock Tucson.
Since Freecycle had a booth set up, I also dropped a bag off for their exchange table. They are all about making sure people don't throw their shit out and my bag was full of really good shit! Click on the label above to read the ingredients in my compost.
It took several hours for us to empty out the compost bin this morning, sifting out the chunky stuff and bagging the good stuff.
I spread the chunky stuff that was full of good organic matter under the citrus trees and then covered it back up with mulch. The uncomposted vegetable matter went back into the compost bin, along with some shredded office paper and more animal manure. We'll keep composting right up until we leave since my friend promises to get a compost system set up in her yard by then. As we've done several times before when we've moved, our compost will be passed along to someone who can use it.

A post for the ages ... and I WANT that trailer! :)
Risa, if you build it, you will have that trailer. Parts only cost about $30 for ours.
LOL nice trailer btw. So you been shovleing shit again , chile? Thats my job!
Chile: Has anyone told you not to move? Can I be the one who will tell you not to? You've done so well to prepare for desert living, you've made so many connections like your CSA folks and your friend who loads you up with citrus. So much is stable where you are...no? Plus moving is one of the stressful life events.
So there I said it. I hope it works out for you, but I did want to you and your husband to rethink if possible.
Rob - yep; great for the garden!
Beany - yep, just this week in fact. We've been researching for well over a year and have come to the conclusion we'd be better off not staying here. If I can find community here, I can find it elsewhere. It will just take some time.
We love our Xtracycles (don't own a car anymore) and I love to see them hauling fun things like this! Great blog!
