Today I took a broom out onto the ice, to clean up the mess left by a moose yesterday. Since it’s been thawing out in Homer, I think the smell of the YWAM compost bed escaped. It’s a lasagna bed which means we layered fresh kitchen scraps (nitrogen) with dead leaves or shredded paper (carbon) in the fall. By next planting season it SHOULD be a lovely raised bed full of compost…except for the disrupting moose. She ate through one burlap cover and dug into the layers below.
Today Squeakums looked out his bedroom window and saw two female moose (mom and yearling?). Probably one of which ate the compost bed yesterday. We watched out the windows as they nibbled and peed in our yard, then crossed the street to the neighbors place.
