A compost turning apparatus mountable on a loader for turning composting materials may include a mobile base having a frame with inboard, outboard, and bridging portions defining a windrow tunnel through which a windrow of composting materials are passed. The inboard portion may be configured to mount on the loader. The apparatus may include a rotor extending across the windrow tunnel, and the rotor may include a rotor shaft and paddles on the rotor shaft. A rotor drive assembly on the mobile base may rotate the rotor using a motor hydraulically-connectable to a hydraulic power system of the loader.

Composting systems and methods are disclosed. A composting kit can be removably installed in roll-off waste containers and/or open-topped shipping containers without modifying the container. The composting kit can include a perforated aeration conduit, a flow regulator positioned along the perforated aeration conduit, and a delivery conduit fluidically coupled to the perforated aeration conduit at a releasable joint comprising a clearance fit. Additionally, the composting kit can include a blower configured to be fluidically coupled to the delivery conduit. The composting kit can be assembled into a working configuration in which the perforated aeration conduit is positioned within the container and the delivery conduit is fluidically coupled to the blower and to the perforated aeration conduit. The components of the composting kit can be removed from the container before the compost is unloaded from the container.

A compost bin module for aerobic decomposition of organic matter. The module is in the form of a container comprising a free-standing portable structural frame for placement on or above the ground. It further comprises removable sidewalls, and an open top and open bottom. Each of said removable side walls insertable into the structural frame and laterally restrained thereby. The structural frame comprises at least three spaced-apart posts, at least an equal number of structural members spanning between and interconnecting the posts, each of the structural members spanning between two adjacent posts at or near their base.

The Earthginuity Composting System is an organic waste composting system. It consists of three steps/components. The first step is using a free-standing cylindrical tube that goes in the kitchen. Organic waste goes into the tube. The second step is the Phase 1 Bin. It is a square-shaped plastic bin that sits on raw earth, and it's about thirty three gallons in volume. It has drainage holes at the bottom and two pegs protruding from the front to serve as anchors for dumping. The final component is the two Earth Grids. They are three by three feet, sandbox-like squares with NO bottoms and liquid-tight lids. The lack of a bottom to the Earthgrids allows for sitting on raw earth to attract ground bugs/bacteria. The lids have rain holes. You can open, close, and empty the Earth Grids with a Shepherd's Staff (hooked pole).
