compost
I've been itching to start a garden for a few months now. I tried to
curb my appetite by reading books and websites, but I just couldn't stand it any longer! So, today, I built a compost pile out of wooden pallets and spent a beautiful fall day raking leaves. Funny to think that my first step towards growing food is to hasten the decay of it. Unfortunately, it's not a very proper compost pile. I've read about putting down layers of green and brown, mixing in compost starters, cutting it all up into little bits, but I just don't have the time or resources to do that. So, I just dumped everything in, mixed it up, and will hope for the best. What should I expect from this kind of setup in the spring? I plan on emtpying table scraps throughout the winter and giving it a good stir every week. Would you have any other recommendations? I can't wait for spring! thanks, joseph |
