Compost Piles 2024-2025

All the leftover milk and food go into the compost piles. We fill each compost pile approximately 1000 lbs of solid food waste which could produce up to 30 cu. ft. of finished compost after a year.

The piles are also color-coded by painted bricks which holds the brown tarp covers in place.
