compost progress

All done! Starting to collect leaves and grass to compost.
There are two "bins" because we are going to have two stages of compost (three is ideal, but we didn't have space). We will mix leaves, grass, cow manure and whatever else we find in the left bin for the first stage. After a month or two, when that pile is starting to degrade, we will move the whole pile to the right bin and leave it alone for another 4-6 months until the compost is done. This way we can keep adding new material to the left pile, while the right one magically transforms.
