I have dug a small piece of earth and dump all biological waste of my kitchen in it apart from the leaves that fall in my garden. I keep it for an year and then use it just before the flowering season. It takes almost and year for the compost to decompose.

All about the composting.<br /><br />To keep the brown thumb at bay...water once a day! There's a rhyme for ya Penny! My neighbors use composted horse manure and keep their watering on a timer. Needless to say that 10 X 4 box garden grows EVERYTHING without fail.

It seems to have been washed away by the rain, in recent months. Lately, I just dump my kitchen scraps onto the weedy grass right outside my garage.

It was in a small, natural hollow. I even had some potatoes growing in it last year. But, after a couple of very rainy seasons, the compost has disappeared, and even the hollow/ditch isn't the same - all washed away, leveled somewhat, or just dispersed more widely around that area.

We're moving back to our farmhouse in PA, where I had a giant compost pile, so I guess I won't need it, but, wow, I wish we'd had this the last year and a half. <br /><br />Loved keeping compost, all the non-meat kitchen stuff went in there (also toilet paper for a while too when the septic quit and we couldn't afford to fix it), and it worked well when I Annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339588714378852066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-71657201952651878512016-05-01T20:02:38.150+00:002016-05-01T20:02:38.150+00:00Penny you inspired me.

We moved to a rental house now that has a small yard. I now have a regular compost bin and the worm bin. It is nice to have the compost to add to my gardening adventures.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142450325343017328noreply@blogger.com
