Make your own Soil
Do not throw the kitchen scraps, lawn scraps, dryer lint, newspaper in the trash! Use it to make the best soil there is! Its free!
I like to compost right into the garden in trenches or in an open pile. No money is needed on fancy compost bins. An easy bin is a plastic trash container with a lid. You need to put a few holes in in. I like to use this one for my house plant soil. Another form is in a heavy black trash bags. This works well if the bottom is vented.
Here are some great articles on composting.

Yes composting is the best, though I just have a large area where I dump all my scraps and cuttings.

ReplyDeleteI pray blessings on your plans this week. You will for sure have to show us your Art Wall. My lesson plans still have to happen. ((sigh)) I haven't even been able to knit lately. Well that is probably b/c I am trying to design a basic template for those who want to use those fancy templates that the middle scrolls up and down. [0; Acts of service are a good thing.
Sending you HUGE ((BLESSINGS)) and ((HUGS))
