composted soil!

Last year I began a compost pile in the backyard. I tossed vegetable scraps and fallen leaves into the pile, watered it and turned it every once in a while. New to composting, I was doubtful that I could actually make the process work. But low and behold, I checked the compost bin today and there was some sweet smelling compost all ready to go! I sifted the compost using a makeshift contraption, collecting the sifted compost in a wooden box. It looks so nutritious!



The sun has finally returned to half of the raised bed, right up to the garlic section. So I cultivated the sunshine half, mixing in the crimson clover. I saw lots of worms which is a good sign. I hope to plant some starts soon!
