First pure pine bark compost pile being constructed. The new Dome Aeration Technique is being used and apparatus can be seen in background

Dumisani delivers the last load of material for the first compost pile. Dumi is a student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and this is part of his final year dissertation project under Dr Cristina Trois.

Second smaller pile comprising pine bark, stable sweeping and chicken manure. The DAT works by drawing oxygen through the pile and heat exiting via the chimney thus eliminating the need to turn the pile.

Dumi, Pungula, Carl, Cristina and Sbu at the end of the days work.
