Composting

Friday, April 09, 2021


Last year I joined the quarantine club and really got into gardening.  I have tried for years to successfully grow a little garden.  I finally found a spot in my yard that got the perfect amount of sun, BUT I left so often during the summer it never survived the drought that was my vacation.  Last year, I rocked the garden.  Sure, a squash bug moved in mid July and took out half my plants, but not all of them.  This year I added an herb garden and since the (above) photo I've had to trim it down twice b/c they are exploding.  All of this to say....I also took up compositing.  
I bought a barrel compost bin that has two compartments.  You fill one, then just start spinning it while you are filling the second side and by the time you fill side two, side one should be ready to roll.  I've learned a lot about bugs, a pile that's too wet or too dry, and what can and can't go inside, but I harvested some great compost this spring for my new hobby.  My dog and I visit the bin almost daily to throw in scraps, paper, hair, egg shells, and leaves.  

All this too say, I never thought I'd like gardening so much, but I'm redoing my whole back yard and hope to have a total oasis in the next few years....at least compared to what it is now.  

I miss traveling, but I've learned to love home even more and I'm learning so much just around my yard.  I'm making the most of having more time at home, and my hobbies have looked a little different over the last year, but I'm definitely adding my personal touches, even in the garden.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
