Compost to the Rescue!

Plants in aged compost (left) Newly started compost is cooking (right)

So this is what you might call a "duh" moment. A while back I ran out of room to plant the rest of the tomato and pepper plants that I had started from seed back in the day. Worse, they have been residing in undersized containers. So today as I was checking in on the status of my compost which has been cooking for two years now and is about done, it occured to me that since it is just....there, waiting for the greenhouse to finish, why don't I plant the plants in it. Eureka. I will report back in a couple of weeks as to their condition.

  1. If that compost isn't "done" by two years then you must have really used Green, Green manure/ I imagine those little plants are just eating up that scrumptous mixture as we are viewing the work you have do so far....just think, Winter is just around the corner, first snow in September, do you get to rest? Looks like you are coming along fine, I am sure Jimmy Hoffa provided all the nutrients your little plants needed. Your uncle is a nut/ :-) love you.auntie kathe
