Little growing things

I’ve been composting kitchen scraps for about five years now. I use one of the 48-ounce Costco Greek yoghurt tubs to dump scraps, coffee grounds and used tea leaves until there’s enough to take out to the composter. That’s a bifurcated closed bin that you can rotate to keep things stirred up until it’s ready to be emptied out to amend the mostly clay soil in my garden.

I occasionally add leaves in the autumn and shredded paper the rest of the year for the “brown” component.

I must not have been rotating enough about a month ago, because when I went out to add some food waste, I found something growing. A lot of something growing.

I don’t know what it was, but it’s been whirled into the mix now.
