Black Gold

 Saturday Ruth and Sam helped me move some finished compost to the gardens and refill the composting bins with new compost-able material.   It's fun to be able to recycle the garden waste and turn it into something that keeps the gardens fertile.  Saturday was just a perfect afternoon for garden work as it wasn't too hot and sunny for what was pretty manual labor. Later in the evening is started raining, and we got an inch of rain Saturday night and another 0.75 Sunday night.  I has also turned cold, with a threat of a frost tonight.  Happily, a warm up is coming.

  1. Now if only we could get a hold of some "stinky gold" (maybe that's not the best name for manure).

    1. THAT's the understatement of the month.

    2. Well composted manure should not be stinky.
