First Step in Organic Gardening


A simple effective thing that you can do today:

Begin a compost heap. Find an out of the way place in your garden and make a pile of leaves and grass. Save your coffee grounds and filters, fruit peels, tea bags,fruit cores in a milk carton and mix them with the leaves. Throw a handful of dirt on top of the pile and stir it with a shovel. Nature will do the rest.

Each day I will give step by step instructions on how to have an organic garden to feed you and your loved ones.

We love our compost heap, both for its eventual benefits for our herb garden and because all that material doesn't go into our landfills.
Our local possums and raccoons love our compost pile, too!
