Compost

We continue to work on the compost pit up at the Epworth Veggie Garden. I heard somewhere that you should feed the soil and not the plant. As we can remember we've tried to add in different green and brown materials into the compost pit. We're also done a better job this year of covering up material in the compost pit and rotating the soil through the various bins.


The plan is in the fall to spread much of the composted material into the soil and till it in. We will then probably start some of the end of the season material (plants, straw, etc) in the compost for next year. Another project is to see if we can get more neighbors and church members to bring appropriate materials to help build the compost.


We really should add some worms and focus more on converting on clay into better soil full or organic matter. It seems like in the summer time, if we can maintain the proper temperature, we can really create some nice rich soil.
