Gardening Stuff

I promised I’d devote this post to gardening questions and answers. Meanwhile I’m putting together my composting presentation for Tuesday PM. Of course the one I found out in the ethers didn’t quite meet the needs of my audience; so I’m adding and subtracting.

Here’s the most important thing you need to know about composting: 4 Basic Ingredients:

• 1 Part GREEN stuff, such as kitchen or garden wastes, fresh grass
• 1 Part BROWN stuff, such as hay, shredded leaves, wood chips, shredded newspapers
• A little BLACK stuff, such as soil, manures, compost, fertilizer (instead of compost)
• A little WATER

Put it (at least a total amount that’s a 3′ X 3′ X 3′ pile) in a place you can watch over occasionally to water if it dries out. Turn it. Use it after it cools off. 

 So now it’s your turn!
