Compost!

Hand sifting and sun-drying the current batch of compost from 'The Elmhurst Gas Tank' bin

Two country compost bins; the 'Elmhurst Gas Tank' (left) and the other made from a Brooklyn neighbor's discarded flexible fencing (right).

Some remaining invasive bamboo, about 12' tall. I chopped it out to make way for the garden. My body was not a happy camper afterwards.
