Letting it rot!

That's right! I am letting it rot! Grass clippings, egg shells, all the pulp I extract when I juice,grass clippings, and a variety of other things. I have decided I would like to learn the art of composting. I have always enjoyed planting and growing flowers and ornamental plants but I have decided to give raised bed gardening a shot and making my very own fertilizer from waste that ordinarily would have made its way to the landfill just feels like the right and smart thing to do. I learned that the city of Phoenix recycles their garbage cans into compost bins by cutting the bottom of the garbage cans off and drilling aeration holes in the sides and leaving the lid in tact. The cost you ask? Only five bucks! So, I got two.I started this journey with a book called " Let it Rot! The Gardeners Guide to Composting" by Stu Campbell. I have also found a few helpful websites like You grow girl! This a great little blog. I have also been taking notes from another website called   composting 101.com. So much information, and I am excited! I will keep you posted on my progress.Ciao for now.
