Soil

Today we go back to one of Keith’s favourite topics! Where everything in a good garden starts - the soil.

Finally an easy guide to why we should we be composting, getting started and maintaining a perfect, odour-free compost. 

• We learn about the Carbon:Nitrogen ratio (ideally 1 part carbon to 3 parts nitrogen)
• the role of microbes in breaking down compost. 
• What can and can’t go into the compost bin - No animal products (besides manure & egg shells)! Dog hair and even vacuum lint are ok to go in - who knew!
• Whether you have room for an open-air compost, a compost bin in the corner of your garden or an apartment with a small worm farm or Bokashi bin, we can all play a part in reducing green waste going into landfill. 
• Applying mulch and organic fertilisers to our garden allows composting to naturally occur in our garden.
