You can add finished compost to your garden about 2-4 weeks before you plant.
Almost anything that was living at one time is great for compost bins (think plant life not animal) No fats,pet droppings etc.
Think sun for that compost bin 120 and 160 degrees is best
Grass clippings for nitrogen and straw for carbon.
Coffee grounds and worms go together plus all those vegetable table scraps
Paper sure but shred it first.
Think in 3’s 3ftx3ftx3ft size wise and turn every couple weeks to aerate your pile.
Oh yeah! Compost is the best!!! SO satisfying to put in all the fluttery little onion papery peels and banana peels and coffee grounds (and on and on)....and get BLACK GOLD for the garden!
ReplyDeleteJoe: That is a great thing to do and the results are marvelous.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! What I like the most about your post is that it offers us a completely doable list of instructions. You've taken the mystery out of composting. So many times I hear that composting is too complicated, too messy and too smelly ... but your easy-to-follow instructions make it a snap.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!

i have size 13 footprints and it IS genetic, I can not be to blame for stepping on things ( sic)
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment on the Kayak, i will be sharing pictures of the progress as it comes along
You make it doable even for a small-timer like me. Great post. Thanks for educating me.
ReplyDeleteVery good advice which we all need to follow- well done
ReplyDeleteGreat post! We compost. So much better and beneficial than tossing stuff in the garbage.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of composting instructions that it's quite informative. Small Footprints's weekly challenge was encouraged me to compost my household waste and I want to know how composting is in household scale. I have already written an post it: http://blogodril.blogspot.com/2009/08/change-world-wednesday-and-karinda.html Thanks Joe for your sharing!
