This is the first year we’ve worked with Paca-Poo fertilizer compost mixture. I’ve decided to compare it against worm casting compost mixture to see if there is any noticeable difference in growth or production. What do you think?

Composting Your Scraps Can Keep The Planet Green
Gardening can be lots of fun and very rewarding. You get to plant little seeds in the ground, and if you’re lucky, watch them grow into big plants with lots of flowers, fruits, or vegetables. Your green thumb can help your plants come to fruition and that’s a nice reward. But along with your successful planting comes a need to prune, thin out, and cull as well as get rid of the spent plants.
Should waste be put in garbage to be hauled to the landfill. The diseased plants and the weeds should, but everything else can go in your very own compost pile. Composting is an excellent way to take care of your garden pruning, tree trimmings, grass clippings, and even kitchen scraps.
There are 2 very good reasons why you should be composting your scraps.
It keeps the yard and kitchen waste out of the landfills where it has a hard time breaking down with all the plastic and other non-compostable stuff around it.
Composted scraps break-down and turn into a gardener’s secret weapon for next year’s crop… “black gold”. This nutrient-rich compost is just what your tired topsoil needs and is the perfect way to keep the cycle of life going.
To start composting, you use a bin or two, rather than open piles. Bins help the piles to heat up quicker and longer, which helps the waste to decompose faster. Plus, closed bins discourage little critters from coming along and feasting on all the goodies that make up your compost.
You can find a compost bin at your local garden store or online, and while they tend to be on the expensive side, they may make you some good compost faster. You can also make your own compost bins with instructions you can fine online or using your own imagination. You can even drill some holes in a plastic garbage can for aeration and use that. When it’s time for the pile to be turned, fasten the lid down with a bungee cord, lay it on it’s side and roll it around some.
Once you have your compost bin, you need to create a pile of brown, green, and soil with manure. Brown is Dead leaves, prunings, spent plants, smallish twigs. Green is Veggie scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, used tea bags from the kitchen.
Bones and other meat leftovers do not belong in your compost pile because they attract wildlife.
If your compost pile smells, then you need to adjust the amounts of what you have in it. The rule of thumb is to add equal amounts of the brown, green, and dirt. When you throw something on the pile, like peelings from your potatoes and carrots, plus the broccoli your son refused to eat, then add some dirt and brown leaves as well.
It might take some time for your compost to break down, so you might want to have two bins going. One will be the bin that is older and is busy turning into compost, the other is a bin for the newest stuff.
When composting your scraps is ready, you’ll know it. It will be a dark color, smell good, and look like the prettiest top soil you have ever seen. Go ahead and spread it around your plants and garden and watch it grow. Compost is a natural fertilizer that your plants will love.

Westview Compost Garden project 1 year in the making July 2008-July 2009
This is a video documenting a compost garden project that I started in July 2008. It shows the progression from an empty clay field into a lush garden using only garden waste and seeds. It won’t happen over night, actually it takes about a year depending on your climate, but it’s free and good for the enviroment. If you have any questions please send me a message. Here is a more detailed list of all the steps to make this garden happen. 1. I staked out the area where I wanted my flowerbed (50 x 3 feet.) 2. I then collected bags of grass clippings and leaves from my neighborhood and worked them into the clay soil. 3. I continued to collect more grass clipping and leaves throughout the summer and fall ( about 20 bags total) and added them to the area I staked out. 4. I would periodically turn the pile to allow the organic matter to decompose. 5. In late October I scattered the area in seeds which I had been collecting from my own yard and from friends, family and neighbors.(such as poppies, bachelor buttons etc.) 6. I let the area sit for the whole winter. 7. In early spring I gave the organic matter one last turn. And that’s it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF-mPS8MxBQ
