I am starting my composting early this year, because once my seeds start to grow, I want to add my compose mixture to my soil.
This year I plan on growing a lot of stuff in containers vs growing stuff in the ground. I grew lavender last year, and it took over my whole flower, and vegetable bed. I was having a hard time figuring out what to grow, so I planted a lot of things. Squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, tomatoes. The only thing that was not successful were the melons. Didn't do much of anything. I think that I had too much going on, so this year I want to focus on more container gardening, and saving my ground items for flowers.
So, I have a basic large trash can. I am going to drill holes in it for it to breathe, and start adding my "compost."
What you can compost:
- Egg Shells
- Coffee Grinds
- Coffee Filters
- Tea Bags
- Fruits & Veggies
- Cardboard & Newspaper
- Grass trimmings
- Dryer Lint
I just used a basic trash can with a locking lid, and had my hubby drill 3/4" holes into the sides. Now to start adding my compost!
xoxo, p&c
