Re Compost



I figured six yards of compost would be enough for the beds this year. Was I wrong. I used up those six yards (162 cubic feet) last week and wasn't even halfway done. So, yesterday I got another eight yards. As you can see from the pictures above, I made a pretty good dent in the pile (and a pretty good dent in my back and shoulders) but I still have about half left. With 900 square feet of planting space left to add compost, I can put down about an inch and a half to two inches of compost. When I add the organic fertilizer, I think it will make for some good planting spaces this spring.
