Here I tossed today


Compost is our best garden buddy. From the kitchen, we are daily vegetable door edge guards scraps, leftover pasta (which does not have sauce on it), all towels, eggshells and coffee grounds in this container that is under the sink (never meat, fish or bread for fear rats). Roughly every other day, it is full and then we empty it into the compost out in the vegetable garden - all year round! These days, (we have had compost for three years), I would almost bring the vegetable's home when I'm with friends who do not have compost. It feels so sad to throw so fine screenings in the trash to be burned. But yet I have not done it :)
Here I tossed today's box from the kitchen. This is also bloomed tulips and of course everything's from the garden. Ideally, you atomize before putting it here, then it decays quickly, but we are careless bit with it and it goes well anyway.
Here is our compost station. Daniel has been building on the usual planed wood from the lumberyard. They stand on concrete slabs but I really believe they should stand directly towards Earth. The inside is linoljad and outside has Falu red paint (svart. ..). The front has Daniel snickrat so snajsigt so that you can lift up one board at a time so you can more easily move on and empty the drawers. We cover as well, this is ugly, heavy ceiling panels that have been on something door edge guards outbuildings before. The best thing would of course door edge guards foldable wooden lid. Maybe a summer project ... One crate rests fall and winter, but that we are loading it at all and just in time for the spring / summer there are amazing earth that we put on the magnolia, the flower beds and the vegetable garden as a soil conditioner. It has a wonderful scent. I usually strain the earth first with the blue plastic box that I begged from ICA Resarö.
Between the boxes I put stuff that I think is too much to put together in the box. One has a little layering otherwise nothing happens - so little vegetable's and little things like this from the middle (leaves, twigs, grass) so it will be good. Though the winter, we only vegetable's and it seems to have become door edge guards too wet. We may not be so very much leaves and rice from the garden, have never ever gone to the dump and emptied just fine mulch. In the fall I rake the leaves into the borders and we have a forest that gets one or two wheelbarrows leaves too. Then in the spring (see last week) so I rake away maybe 1/3 of all the leaves and put in the compost and how between the drawers. All perennials are cut down into small pieces and remained in rebate. In the summer I put EVERYTHING weeds in the compost too. Dandelions may bask two or three days on a stone first so they dry out properly. They ripen else in the compost and reseed by themselves inside.
The compost needs to be turned around a bit at times with a fork. I just made it for the first time in years. Our compost is not insulated so it freezes in the winter. Worms and other things do not seem to take any damage door edge guards of it though. Surely it is not frozen throughout the pile. Sometimes in the summer I take off the cover so it may rain a little in the drawers. Or so I'm watering. But since we throw away so much vegetables usually does not become dry indeed. So how do you start? Yes, I'm certainly no expert and there are 1000 books on the subject. But I've read some and I just think it's hard when you read everything you need to keep in mind. Think not! Just do! Buy a ready-made in wood, plastic. Nets I do not believe, then teach it to become door edge guards birds and mice if you throw leftovers. And so they dry quickly, I think. But the works of course for the garden as staging. Well, then I'd dig up a piece of lawn (often full mesh) or take half a wheelbarrow bold beautiful earth from any discount where it is very worm and pour into the box, little leaves and finely divided leaves and then it's just that refill from the kitchen. A whole year, we can add the and garden waste in a single box (about 1 cubic meter), without becoming full, it collapses and becomes earth! And do not forget door edge guards to aerate / stir somebody once a month during the spring / summer / fall. Congratulations! Small mountains of rubbish, finer soil and a great feeling in my stomach :) pussåkram / Jennie
Hi Jennie! Where should the compost be somewhere? Sunny? Shady? Does it matter? I would like to put it on the part of the plot which is forest, but it might be too dark and shadowy where? I have long wanted door edge guards to have one, but it has not happened ... yet! I might stop by for a private lesson :-) ReplyDelete
Thank you! for the fine compost information :) We'll definitely fix a compost .... when we get the time. Is always a lot of projects on the g But what the heck, I'll get the old man to go along, and then it's probably a reality of it. Would also like to know if it is sunny, shady, halvskuggit? door edge guards Hug Sofia Reply Delete
Halloj, tjoho what fun with some comments :) Our compost is sunny in the morning only. I do not think it should stand for sunny, door edge guards rather more shade. But want to have heat too so half shadow is probably best type 3-4 hours of sun a day. Sofia - start putting everything in a pile just so counties
