Home Composting - It's Second Nature! Part II

[rainbowsalads]

would collecting rain water be better than tap water? As chlorine is in tap water, even fluoride and plants absorb chemicals . Like when flowers are kept in food colouring, they absorb very quickly like a sponge. I am thinking to stretch out a tarpaulin in the rain and channel the water into a big tub for garden use.

@bullw battery electric charged by the sun is better. push mowers keep getting jammed with sticks.

Teaches how to make and what to do with compost.

electric mowers are dirtier than gas mowers (newer gas mowers) ...UNLESS you have a green power source

Thank you very much. You were very helpful. Would you recommend a large trash bin with holes drilled at the bottom? Would the material succesfully compost in a bin such as that?

We started a trash can compost bin a few days ago. I added some old grass clipping, food scraps, shedded newspaper and compost starter

I have a question? Do compost bins attract any rodents or snakes or any other kind of surprise visitor???

[cdiaz1998]

Only if you add meat or dairy products!

why do you have to wait for the worm castings to dry out before putting the castings with your vegies ? or was he just saying that for no reason ? ive got a worm composting box atm so happy with my little m8s :D

Composting is better when the water comes from a water butt / harvester and not from the mains powered hose!

some people eh?
