Compost in the City
By "the City" I mean Albany, NY, but still, I am in a city and composting.
The pile in the wheel barrow is sifted compost and the pile on the tarp is what was sifted. The sifted, made up of material that hasn't broken down and some sticks, will go back into the composter which is the big green barrel in the background. I added in some newer compost and leaves from the back garden where I had been piling compostables during the winter. The wheel barrow was mixed in with dirt and some left over leaves in the back garden. I will mix in some peat moss and continue to work the soil until I cover it with week blocker fabric and we start planting seeds.
Peas and green beans can go in as soon as the soil is ready.
