International Composting Awareness Week 2021
May 2 – 8, 2021
The ICAW 2021 theme of "Grow, Eat, Compost, Repeat" is based on the circular movement of the organics recycling process flowing from farm to table to farm again. This circular process turns recycled organic materials into compost which creates healthy soils leading to more nutrient dense fruits and vegetables, with those scraps going back to being composted and the process starts again. Compost adds carbon back into the soil, promotes erosion control and closes the loop by avoiding the loss of valuable organic resources. From on-farm composting, large-scale commercial composting facilities to community composting and composting in backyards, this amazing resource provides an ecologically responsible option for managing our organic materials. This year’s ICAW 2021 theme, Grow, Eat...COMPOST...Repeat, empowers us to recognize and promote the importance of composting and the use of compost in growing healthier food, supporting healthier soils and, ultimately, creating a more just and sustainable world.

That’s how its done!Here's the sweet potato skins and discards loaded into the compost bin with shredded cardboard and wood chips. This is the 3rd time we've filled the bin. Our compost has a 75% reduction rate which means that the finished compost is 25% of the total input weight. A lot of that is due to water being shed throughout the composting process. This is why we place the compost bins near trees so the trees can benefit from the water and nutrients. The trees absorbing the water helps to balance our bins and allows us to skimp just a bit on the dry ingredients. Often we just can't get enough cardboard shredded to keep up with the food waste.

Good stuff!Mahalo to @circlepackhi , @hanahou_life , @composthawaii , @monaray_7 and all of the other volunteers who came out today to help chip and shred cardboard. Mahalo to Organic Matters for allowing us to chip and shred on their site. Michael and I brought back our two trucks full of shredded cardboard to Ma'ona to be placed in the food forest area.
