With very little effort and not a lot of money you can convert your kitchen scrapes; vegetables and fruit peels, leftovers, egg shells, coffee grinds and tea leaves into organic gardening compost rich in nutrient which, in turn, will enable you to have the garden of your dreams while making it organic. When you are ready to start your own compost pile, an excellent site to look into is Organic Gardening. They have step by step instructions how to mix the green matter of your kitchen, with the brown matter of your yard, what you can and cannot add to the pile. For example fresh water aquarium waters are a great source of nitrogen and can be added to moisten the pile and increase the nitrogen levels in the soil. Horse manure, chicken manure and even droppings of rabbits and other rodents can add to the healthy mixture. Avant Gardening explains in details how to start a compost pile in the back yard, what to add, how to keep it moist and aerated. They detail the process that ensues until pile turns into rich mixture containing all the nutrients the garden needs. There is even step by step instructions, how to build your own composting bins out of used shower doors. Earthworms can be added to speed the process, since they eat their body weight in organic matter every single day. They leave behind a trail of castings that is rich with all the right nutrients. The site has photo tours and videos that show how to make it easy and efficient. According to STPNS, home gardeners in the Washington area can learn from the expertise of six Whidbey Island organic farmers in classes about organic gardens that last 8 weeks, once a week a few hours in the evening. There is no better source of knowledge than that. Whitney Farms has a line of organic products for the yard. Their organic products that nourish the soil and feed the plants got rave reviews from many gardeners. If you do not have the time to do your own organic garden composting, you can get those soil supplements in a bag. Organic garden compost can be made or bought. Either way, you can be sure that you are treating your yard and your vegetables to the best soil enhancer there is, and you help restore the ecological balance of our world. |

My neighbor has been doing his own compost for years with wonderful results. Now that I am retired and have the time I need to jump on the band wagon and do that myself.
When you make your own organic gardening compost, you can really turn out some great produce. My tomatoes and cucumbers really look great because of the compost this year. It does make a difference.
