Composting

Last week, I prepared my raised bed for compost. Since it had rained really well last week, the material in my compost was well broken down.

I aired out the soil by turning it and weeding out all the plants and weeds I do not want in the bed.

Last growing season, my garden did not produce well because my mind was not totally into it. However, now I am writing down all my information in a journal to keep better track and create a food producing garden.


Making a journal is very important because all the different plants' needs are not the same. Just like your body, you need a journal to know what is working and what is not.

Here is my compost. I know it is gross looking, but it is the most natural fertilizer you can give to your garden. Plus, it eliminates vegetable, weeds, dead plants, and paper materials from your trash.





This is my raised bed fully composted. All I did was spread the compost over the top of the soil and water. Watering adds the nutrients to the soil faster and prepares the soil for the new planting season.
