When your new plants arrive next spring, make them happy with compost from this easy recipe.
The ideal compost heap is like a layer cake:
Layer One: Straw.
Layer Two: Green (fresh kitchen wastes, grass clippings, etc.)
Layer Three: Brown (dried grass, dead leaves, etc.)
Layer Four: More green.
Layer Five: More brown or straw.
And so on…
Add an “icing” of soil on top of each green layer.
