How long is the summer in Minnesota??

[Praxxus55712]

@RawFoodGuy99 Two or three.......minutes.

The growing season is from the middle of May until around the end of September.

I have a giant tree in my backyard which sheds leafs alot and i raked up all of the dead and for every 4 inches in my pile i put a palm leaf and a handful of alive leaves i also wet every scoop i did with the shovel will it still work?

@jameronies You're making what's called "Leaf Mold". Basically it's leaf compost. Not very rich in nitrogen but is a fantastic addition to soil because it makes the soil fluffy, retains water, attracts and feeds earthworms like crazy and helps balance ph just a bit. I'll be using lots of it now that I have trees in a yard that can be raked. The key is to keep them moist all the time. You'll know they're broken down when they turn black and smell like a fresh forest. It's a great smell.

@Praxxus55712 Thanks for the reply the stuff i'm making is exactly what i'm looking for but i have one last question, can you still make compost tea out of this or do i need to use grass or something more likely to be rich in nitrogen . I am growing pineapples and i want them to grow very big but i also want them to be very strong and healthy and that's why I want to use the compost tea.

[Praxxus55712]

@jameronies Since leaf mold is low in nitrogen, you would want to add a bit of grass to the compost to boost the nitrogen a bit for an effective tea.

If you make one of these rough composting bins with wire and plant tomatoes or melons around the edges they go crazy. When the growing season is over what's left in the bin is compost.

@L10aVon Get a bag of Trader Joe's charcoal. Toss about fifteen briquets in there and a gallon of water. Your compost will speed right up. Lump charcoal works too but not any brand that uses a clay binder. Biochar. It's a wonder.

If you Pee on your compost heap it will rot down quicker. Urine is a good activator it also adds nitrogen calcium posphates and potasium

You crack me up. I love your personality and videos. I love gardening too and learn from you. I'm wondering what happen to your rock ash experiment. I use it too. ....Ray
