I’ve started this blog as a way to gather my thoughts, feelings and findings about the compost pile I keep in the backyard of my home in Westport, Connecticut.

Like any compost heap, these postings are a work in progress. I’ll add to the collection as I go and as best I can, allow it all to sit and layer and mix. In time and like my pile itself always seems to do, perhaps this blog will become more than the sum of its parts and produce an end result of lasting value, even if only to me and my backyard.
