    What I’ve learned in my first year of my composting and how it’s a game changer in the garden

    June 1, 2017 /

    What have I learned in my first year of composting?  That I am lazy…:)  While the budget friendly composting bins are great, I am not getting around to turning them as often as I need to get the temperature up.  In my original blog on composting, I walked you through the basics.  I also shared my homemade composting bin as an inexpensive alternative to manufactured models.  This bin works great, but because of its size, was hard to turn every few days.  Without turning your compost, you are on the slow composting path, which takes about 9 months to a year to break down.  So I have invested in the…

    May 10, 2017 /

    Spring Planting and the addition of Rain Barrels

    April 10, 2017 /

    Spring has arrived in Texas and my flowers and garden are going crazy.  I have high hopes this year, with the addition of our composting bin and two new rain barrels.  I may even consider trying the lasagna gardening method… but more on that later.  I went to a gardening class in Lewisville, and learned alot about gardening in Texas (far different than Montana).  It turns out that rain barrels, not only help conserve water, but your garden and plants like rain water much better than treated water.  We ended up ordering two barrels off of Amazon.  With new laws being passed to encourage water conservation, most likely you will…
