Photos have captions, but this year I’m trying to add a lot more garden “waste” in the compost, including weeds and all the soil that gets entrained in the roots.

Hopefully I’ll get enough compost to top up the beds in the fall.

    How do you like to compost? It’s one of a billion things I keep meaning to find a sensible way to do.

      Sensible is not a word I would apply. I have two “bays” (like a box with no top and no front) with piles of stuff.

      I put kitchen scraps on it and bury the kitchen scraps with yard waste.

      I don’t have the right ratio and it doesn’t really get hot. But it breaks down for sure. My partner is the one who puts the most thought into the compost and I’m not sure he’s really started to execute his vision.

        Well thank you for the information either way, I appreciate it.

      My super-secret, patented, scientifically-rigorous compost procedure:

      1. Throw stuff in a pile

      2. (there is no step 2)
