Smart Gardening

I will be posting pictures of my garden here from time to time, and I can tell you that soil quality matters. I have put fish heads, bat guano, coffee grounds, vegetable cooking water, banana peels, and more into the soil around my plants, and the results are astounding. Of course, if you stick a fresh banana peel in the ground, likely you will have to wait a few months for it to break down and have access to the nutrients.

I suppose it would be prudent to create some actual compost. Anyone interested in recycling their leftovers for a fabulous garden should attend a special city-sponsored composting workshop coming up this weekend. It will be held (rain or shine) on Saturday, June 4th from 10 a.m. to noon in the Library Park. Learn more about Smart Gardening here.
