#compostathome — Public Fediverse posts

It is finally time for me to start indoor seeds.

The work done this winter with the #compostathome bins and worm bins let me make some free potting mix.

This is a good time of the year to start amending #nodig #garden beds with #compost.

This preparation work will allow your beds to be ready for spring summer and fall.

It is also a good time to start #composting.

Here is a simple #CompostAtHome bin setup. https://mastodon.social/@nicole2g/109378112801272206

This week I will start a new #CompostAtHome bin to have enough #compost for mulching #garden beds.

So #today I will harvest some browns and greens. Making wood chips as well is on the to-do list.

#mondaymotivation #gardening #sustainability

Last January 1st I started this #CompostAtHome bin https://mastodon.social/@nicole2g/109614334432851292

The results of this bin for the month of December and January gave me 20 gallons of #compost.

I will keep half of it to feed my worms and start some new bins. The other half will be used to make no-dig garden beds.

Add #carbon to a #CompostAtHome bin

Wood chips, sawdust, #cardboard, #newspaper or paper, dried leaves, #straw or hay, pine needles, nutshell, and last but not least #compost.

The more it is chopped the fastest the #fungi in your bin will process it.

#CompostAtHome tip

If you have to #transplant your #seedlings make a bucket of aerated #compost tea. Soak the #seedling in the #compostTea for 30 seconds to get the biological activity in the #soil block.

The big pro of doing this is that you won't have to water after the transplant and it will give enough nutrients for the plant to grow and avoid any shock.

#Compost is a way to sequester #carbon
in the soil.

Because the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio is higher in carbon, the final product is full of it.

Compost is a solution to fix the #climatechange and action that you can do #today.

Plus it helps reduce our waste and makes us more #sustainable at home.

Do your part to fix the #climatecrisis.

@Mrfunkedude you can still compost in 20-gallon bins to create enough volume for indoor plants this is how I proceed https://mastodon.social/@nicole2g/109378112801272206

The tag #CompostAtHome detail my process.

@cvvhrn sweet of you to share all this. You can join other compost lovers on #compostodon.

I prefer to compost in 20-gallon bins so that i can keep them safe from the weather or pests. This is how i proceed and post updates on my process on #CompostAtHome

https://mastodon.social/@nicole2g/109378112801272206

To build a new habit, take the daily routine to work on something for 10 minutes or more, but entirely commit to it

It is like with #compost If you make a big pile the first days you feel happy about it, then you start to forget it, then troubles come in the pile and you feel you did not succeed

Instead, work with a small bin, and check that all is well if trouble comes you can fix them

This is how I came up with the #compostathome bins and made it work

Today i am starting a fresh new #compostathome bin. To start the 1st of each month make it easy to manage and remember.

The goal is to produce #homemade potting mix to start #seeds indoors.

The image shows you how i proceed.

Working on gathering organic matter to create a new #CompostAtHome bin for the #newyear

The goal of this bin will be to have #compost for making a potting mix to start #seeds #indoors.

Greens will be leaves of lettuce and arugula leaves of plants that were damaged by the winter storm. Browns will be wood chips, and maple tree leaves. The compost will be made of #vermicast and harvested compost at home bins.

This a really good article to know better the bacteria that live in your #compost piles and what they do.

Part of today was spent collecting #browns wood chips and leaves for the #CompostAtHome bins.

The holiday season means food scraps to add to the #compost bins.

Every time you add a volume of #greens don't forget to add the same volume of #browns to avoid unwanted smells.

It's been a month since I joined #mastodon
I aim to talk about how I make #CompostAtHome and explain how you can reduce trash and create the best homemade fertilizer. I've been practicing for the past decade on a small scale.
You can only act on what you can control; doing this will be a great blessing for your landscape.
Thank you for following, boosting, and interacting. This place has been expectionnaly less toxic than other social media.

You only harvest what you plant.

@spenbroc @pawsforthought you are quite welcome, on this profile I talk about how to make #CompostAthome because it is something everyone can do especially if they are concerned for the #climate.

About 50% of household trash is made of yard waste and food scraps. You can reduce this amount to 0 if you #CompostAtHome.

This is where you can do your part in the #climatecrisis and transform your landscape into a #healthy and #sustainable place.

edit: the number comes from my local county. may vary depending on your place

Point is, do not let your trash be someone else treasure

@oldreadingroom @xofevad Anyone can contribute to the #climate if they #CompostAtHome #CompostCorner.

5 things you can do for your #garden even in winter.
- a #CompostAtHome bin to have compost check the pinned post on my profile.
- harvest some browns for the #compost
- Get some indoor #plants that will need the compost.
- Organize your #seeds and think about what you will plant.
- Read #books, my all-time favorite, The market Gardener by Jean-martin Fortier.

@compost

Can I add #chicken manure to a #CompostAtHome bin?

If it is already composted in a hot pile and you made sure to kill the pathogens and harmful bacteria then yes, it is a powerful nitrogen source. But if it is fresh I would not use it because there are many risks.

Fresh chicken manure should be used first in a hot pile type Berkeley to raise its temperature. This is why I will make hot piles to use this resource.

#Compost #gardening #garden @compost

Today was dried #leaves harvest.

I crush and shred those in really small pieces to use for my #CompostAtHome bins and my #worms. It is a really valuable resource that should not end at a landfill or be burned.

They are also fantastic mulch for garden beds in winter.

@compost

Time to start a new #CompostAtHome bin.

It's content will be so.
#browns: wood chips, leaves, cardboard, shredded paper
#greens: food scraps, #coffee and #tea ground
#compost: old bin #compost, #worms casting.

The bin will be ready around christmas time and will feed some #trees.
