Compost

Day 11

March 12, 2018

It’s Monday again! I start the day working out then meditating. I refuse to sleep in or get lazy. In fact I want to get in my best shape ever. I also want to learn. Right now, about composting. So I started a book, Let it Rot. I also gathered all the eggs from the weekend (4 dozen) washed and dried them, ground them to a powder in a food processor. If chunkier, they are good for making barriers for slugs. And also tomatoes and roses love the calcium, so I will mix them in with the compost. For an exciting hands-on fertilizer, mix the eggshells with coffee grounds, which are rich in nitrogen. I love recycling, making a fertile soil, learning what makes plants happy!

    FYI…tried the slug barrier usage but didnt work for me. slugs just went elsewhere or in anyway! oh, i dont wish the slug problem on anyone. boiled water along the edges of pots though can stop new eggs apparently!
