Compost -

Providing The Most Beneficial Soil Nutriants For Our Garden

Bonnie has been doing a great job of composting.  One of our piles already has several layers of green and brown.  She's been watering and turning.  At this rate, we'll have a bunch of that "black gold" to make our veggies grow big and healthy sooner than we thought.  She has contributed books and handouts that explain how to do it, and how vegetable plants benefit from using it. 

Thanks everyone for bringing in your kitchen waste.  We must have received 15 or 16 lbs. of egg shells, coffee grinds and leafy kitchen waste last Sunday.  If you want to contribute from your kitchen, simply save it in  bags or seal-top, plastic containers  and take them to one of the benches in the back yard.  Bonnie will keep it together until it's time for another layer.  Thanks for this information, Bonnie:

Also, she asked that we remove the strings and tags from the tea bags and please leave out sticks and twigs from any leaves you bring.  They would eventually break down, but at a much slower rate.
