Composting

 

 

So before I start producing my own food, I need good soil.  The best way to get good soil, add compost!

 

I'd love to try hot composting but I don't have enough space, so I've gone with the usual compost bin.  

At $40, it's cheap and easy!  By the time I get usable compost, I'll probably have my block of land, but at least it will be well practised in the art of composting...

 

And be building some muscle trying to turn it!

 

I've also got out my old Bokashi bucket and bought a huge bag of Bokashi to keep it going.  I'm thinking I can get two to rotate so I can leave each one for a couple of weeks to degrade before throwing it into the big compost bin!

I've been surprised with just how much vegetable waste we have - mostly throwing out leftovers, but also stuff that never got used.  At least now it can get back into our little ecosystem!

In the meantime, I really need to pick up some more sugar cane mulch to curb that weed growth!
