Composting

It turns out that this is quite a science, balancing nature’s bounty with the right constituents and modifiers. I make my own compost from weeding activities, kitchen scraps and garden losses. I am also fortunate to have a good local source of horse manure compost. Combined, these provide the fertilizer for my ever expanding garden. As in everything else in this world, life lives off of life. Today’s flower becomes tomorrow’s flower food; completing the circle of life.
