@valentinzi Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday! I love a good #Compost story!
I need to figure this out, because I have tall fruit trees and wasps right now.
Compost tumblers for the "lively" stuff has been my approach, seems to keep rats uninterested, but I fear I would just have tumbled angry wasps.
Possibly digging one good-sized hole every year, putting the unusable fruit in it, covering it in its own soil and planting a tree in it a year or two later...
When we plant our potatoes at the allotment in March/April there are always a few small tubers left over. These we plant in large pots at home, 3 or 4 per pot. The tops of these plants start to die back early August, indicating that the tubers won't get any bigger.
The variety in the foreground is Acoustic and the ones to the rear are Wilja. Both very tasty '2nd early' types.
The growing medium is just compost from our compost heap.

Another very nice day here; not too hot and sky is mostly clear of smoke. Had a chance to dump out my 80 gallon (312 liter) compost tumbler. The mixture of grass clippings and shredded leaves has been "cooking" for a couple of weeks and it's ready to go out as mulch around the eggplant. AND after a 4-day hiatus, corn-fest resumed today. The second planting is now ready. Let the rejoicing begin!

Mastodon can be a great source of inspirations! Thanks to @ak_text post about #SlowLooking I discovered a buzzword important for #nature, and every #museum and #gallery.
I show you how to do it and why a woodlouse under a stone can be as interesting as an ancient artefact behind glass:
