we’re confident that our biggest issue in our #garden this year was lack of organic matter in our beds (since this was our first year #gardening and we didn’t have any #compost to start off with).

to address this, we’re trying a few different things:

- a tumbling composter primarily for kitchen scraps (mixed with various brown material)

- mesh composters filled with invasive/exotic plants, hay, leaves, and used hemp bedding, in layers

- an old plastic composter that i neglected last year, to be left open over winter to finish decomposing

- “chop and drop” on some of our beds

#compost enthusiasts: i’d be so grateful for your thoughts! does this seem like a sensible approach to maximize compost for next year? we live in a temperate climate where it doesn’t remain below freezing for long

boosts encouraged!

Building a Johnson-Su Compost Bioreactor might interest you. The original design is quite large, but there are plenty of smaller, modified designs that can be found online.

An inexpensive course on building one (and why you should) can be found at the link below. I took it, and highly recommend it.
