Compost Delivery, for my Raised Bed Garden


I had a TRUCK of COMPOST delivered. It’s 5 cubic meters. This will help me move forward with starting my “Raised Bed Gardening” to grow vegetables, greens, etc., on my front lawn. Buying the compost by the truck-load was about 10-15 less expensive than buying individual Bags of compost. Plus, they delivered it right to my home (I sure as heck couldn’t have gotten this into my trunk!) and there’s no plastic bags to throw out.

Vegetable Garden Soil Amendments: Compost or Manure Tea

It’s been almost two months since I started to test the soil amendments in my container garden.

I was testing using manure tea versus using regular compost. I had two cucumber plants that I had started from seeds.

This makes me believe that if the plants were in the ground that the container with the manure tea would be doing much better. Since it’s in a container it is restricted and can’t grow as well.

I’m not sure if this is coincidence or if the longer roots are due to the manure tea. So at this point, I don’t have a definitive answer as to which vegetable garden soil amendments work best, especially in a container garden.

What are your thoughts?

Worm Composting Creates Organic Fertilizer for Your Garden, Lawn & House Plants

http://www.thenaturalguide.com – David Karp of http://www.SmartGardening.com explains how to use worms to compost your food scraps into an excellent organic fertilizer. Shot at the Venice Eco-Fest 2010.

Worm composting, also called vermicomposting, is one of the easiest methods for reusing fruit and vegetable scraps from your kitchen and yard. All you need is a container filled with moistened bedding, worms and food scraps. The worms, with help from micro-organisms, convert the bedding and food waste into compost in only a few weeks. Worm composting is so simple it can be done virtually anywhere: schools, offices or homes. It is a natural method for recycling nutrients in food waste. The resulting compost is an excellent soil amendment that can be used to make potting soil for house plants or as a fertilizer for your garden. Worm compost is also a rich source of nitrogen, making it an excellent organic fertilizer. Finally, the worm tea (the liquid that is produced during the composting process) is also an excellent organic fertilizer and contains many essential minerals and nutrients plants need to grow. Visit http://www.SmartGardening.com for complete worm composting instructions. Also visit http://www.yelmworms.com.

You can get worms and worm bins from http://www.SmartGardening.com, OSH stores, bait stores, pet stores and online retailers.
