Bring on the Compost

This sign brought great rejoicing to our house last week.  We’d been getting the runaround from the transfer station who we wanted to buy compost from, so. . .  fine–we got some free from the university research farm instead.

I love how it says: The Safe Earth-friendly Fertilizer!

They had huge mountains of compost, and we came equipt with tools and a great tip from some friends. . .

We brought along brown yard bags, and shoveled compost into them, then put down the seats and lined them up in the back of our van.  Mess-free.

Here’s one of our two garden beds in the front yard.  I’m a little sensitive about how they look since they are out front.  I try to keep them looking nice and neat.

Yes, much better with the compost.  We hope the compost will help keep the weeds down, as well as keep the moisture in the ground–since we can’t seem to get a decent rain around here.  As well, of course as being a great natural fertilizer.  Grow, cabbage, grow!
