OMG! I dug up several of my dig-and-drop composting holes today,
curious to see what they look like. There is essentially no sign of the
original material in holes that were dug as recently as July 25th, i.e.
3 weeks ago!!!! Also the older holes that I checked, July 5th and July
11th, no sign at all. They all held a full fridge-bin worth of scraps.
The most recent one, from August 8th, is definitely still there, still
ample recognizable chunks.
But the others! I would have sworn I wasn't digging in the right spot,
if it weren't for the large rocks and ziplock bags with dates that I
placed over the holes.
Oddly, the soil in the holes looks dry and boring, not the rich gorgeous
stuff that comes out of the compost bin.
