My experiment in the raised bed. After we pulled the potatoes, there was still the rotten straw that we'd used as mulch. Two weeks ago, I cleaned out the coop and threw most of the bedding and chicken manure in there. It was well over the sides. I've been turning it and watering it every couple of days, and it's composting faster than I've ever seen before.

The many varieties of compost offered by American Soil & Stone. This photograph was taken at their facility adjacent to Berkeley Aquatic Park.

 

I have added many cubic yards of their compost and lava rock to loosen and aerate my clay soil over the past many years.

Beautiful day today, and thoughts turn to turning - compost! Of course it's just a Portland pre-Spring teaser.

María Pinto, Chile.

 

The municipality of María Pinto collects organic waste from its residents, converts it to compost, and then sells it back to the residents for use in gardens, etc.

Students taking a vegetable gardening class were working out in the fields one day as I drove home from work. I thought this girl was watering the plants, but apparently she was using compost tea.

 

For more information about this and other gardening topics, visit the UF/IFAS website Gardening Solutions.

The packaging on Sun Chips claims their bags are biodegradable, so I'm giving it a test in my compost bin.

 

So is it a real concern for the environment or a marketing ploy? I don't know, but it is certainly better than tossing a container in the trash.

My husband's own handiwork, the final screws added and then freshly painted today. It has an opening door at the bottom to remove the compost, and he's made the whole thing a lot bigger than the ones we've seen for sale. We're delighted with the result.

These are decorative Asa well as functional. Use them to store compostable scraps in your kitchen. Great gift for the cooking gardener!

Grasshoppers are composters too, eh?

30% peat free, Tesco's pile of compost proclaims. Which means 70% peat. One of the most important types of habitat in the UK.

 

As Kew Gardens says:

 

Each year in the UK, around 2.5 million cubic metres of peat are sold to commercial and amateur gardeners. In Great Britain, over 94% of the 69,700 ha of peatbogs have been damaged or destroyed. Most of this damage has occurred in the last 50 or so years, since the promotion of large-scale use of peat for the horticultural industry.

 

Peatbogs are important sites for wildlife. They are unique habitats which support a fascinating variety of birds, invertebrates and plants. Carnivorous plants such as sundews (Drosera species) thrive in these low-nutrient ecosystems. They trap insects and digest them to supplement their food supply.

 

As Monty Don put it:

 

Every time you use a peat-based compost in the garden, you are deliberately participating in the destruction of a non-renewable environment that sustains some of our most beautiful plant and animal life. No garden on this earth is worth that.

 

So why are Tesco labelling it 30% peat free, and not 70% peat filled? Surely not to try and hide a negative behind a positive spin? It's reminiscent of the 80% fat free debacle.

Been on my list of things to do for 10 years. Check.

 

I've been dropping deadheads, weeds, and other clippings from my garden into this bucket. They've dried out nicely into a kind of potpourri. I'm going to make them into compost tea.

One of the most visionary tasks Federación Campesino is involved in is the creation of this large-scale organic composting plant. On site, they also have an organic garden, dairy cows, a tilapia lake, and are working on building out dorms for eco-tourism (local and international) – as well as a roadside restaurant with traditional organic foods.

 

I was already inspired by all the comments I'd heard from specialty producers throughout the week, but this was an additionally uplifting way to end the trip.
