Do you compost? How do you do your compost? If you don't how would you?  | | | | Do you have a bucket and when it's filled, bring it to a compost pile? Or do you just throw scraps in after every meal? Or does it change during different seasons? Do you have a composting barrel that you turn? Do you have a fensed in compost pile? Do you have wooden slats around it? Do you just have a pile with nothing around it that you turn with a pitch fork? Do you have mulitiple compost bins? Do you have meal worms in a box under the sink that you throw scraps in? Any others that I haven't written here? If you aren't composting now, what are your ideas for the future? | | | | | | | | | | Compost Bins, Tumblers Wide variety Compost bins, tumblers- Soil Saver, ComposTumbler, more. gardenersnet.com/shop

| | We have a compost pile (not fenced in or anything) and one of the metal composters. We turn the compost every so often. Everything compostable from the kitchen goes out there right away; otherwise I get fruit flies in the house. :-) | | | | | | | writersedge (7230)

| | I think it's a good idea to bring it out right away. So you have a metal composter and a pile. I think metal would be good, it must heat up well in there. Thank you very much for your response. I hope people considering composting are motivated by your reply.

| | Wow! You're really good at this. Chicken manure is a special challenge because it's so acid. I like the variety, explanations, and that you use a wild weed in there, too.

| | I do compost, always. I have tried several methods but settled on this one. I keep compost materials in a smallish plastic container beneath my kitchen sink. When it is full I take it to my garden, dig a small hole large enough to hold it and dum[p it in, then cover. I let nature do the work. This is much less labor intensive than other methods I've tried, but works fine for me. It also keeps the ground in my garden turned regularly so that it does not compact. In idle spots, I try to do this in the place where I will be planting soon. Otherwise, I bury it between plants. When I pull my garden in late fall for the winter, I leave the holes so they can be filled during the cold months. I put dead plants in a spot next to my garden to be mowed into shreds. Then I can simply rake up piles for mulching. Weeds are taken care of in this way too. I do save out my eggshells separately from other compost material. They are allowed to dry, then crumbled by hand and spread under my florwering plants. Eggshells are made of calcium, and plants use calcium to produce colors in their flowers (which is why the garden stores sell bonemeal for roses and such). I have composted for years, I soon grew tired of the adding enhancers, turning, etc. So now I compost the way nature does. No matter where I have lived it takes only a couple of years of this to produce rich, dark, loamy soil. I have learned from experience that we tend to overdo much of our gardening, spending way too much time doing things that don't really enhance it. I no longer stake my tomatoes, either. One year I had several plants fall down. Due to problems at home I had virtuually no time to spend in my garden, so I just spread newspapers under them and let them go. Wouldn't ya know? They produced far more and bigger tomatoes than the staked ones? Now most of my garden is planted so that the plants grow the way they would in the wild. My neighbors laugh at my beans growing up my trees, but they love getting the bushels of beans I get from them, no staking, no trouble. my tomatoes ramble across a patch as bit as a car would cover, on the ground, yet I get more than my neighbors do from their staked and pampered plants. | | | | | | | writersedge (7230)

| | I love recycling eggshells for the reasons you mentioned plus slugs don't like crawling over them. I like simplicity, too. That's why I like gathering wild foods. You make several excellent points. Very good ideas, I hope people read this and take what they want, can use, need from it. Thank you very much for posting.
