'Behold this compost! behold it well!' says Walt Whitman.
B9b has been the site of some slow, heavy composting for a couple of years. Grass cuttings, corrugated cardboard, and coarse heavy plant material have been piled layer upon layer. Contained by pallets, and on a damp site, all that material has rotted down into some rich compost suffused with worms of many a stripe and colour. Some of the coarse compost was transferred to compost cones to compost some more. Other seams of this black gold were transferred to a wormery and yet more was bagged up ready for use at a later date. And there's still more to extract.
