Compost is one of the best ways to add nutrients to your garden. Above I have provided a list of good things to add to your compost. Remember to layer each ingredient in small amounts to get the best results. We plan on using a no dig method this year in our garden beds to reduce weed seeds. You can add compost in the fall or add it in the spring when setting out plants. You can layer it on top of the bed or row, or incorporate it in the top 2 inches of soil. The idea is not to disturb the sub-soil, because this will encourage weeds. There are many videos and chapters written on techniques, so I wont repeat them here. Stay tuned for pictures and progress updates as planting season draws near. Spring is just around the corner.
