The Compost Pile
Earlier in this blog project I thought of doing a series of photos showing little protects in the yard/garden that I would like to do. I would still like to make that post, but when I started this one, I had to actually get on with doing this particular little project. In the northeast corner of the garden is our compost pile. It is rather large because when I do projects like the garden bed off the front deck (from my first post) the compost pile is where I dump all the old bark much, and soil that I dig up. Plus all the soil from the pots that are from that garden. As well, it is where I dump all the soil from the hanging baskets and other pots that we plant during the summer. Of course we also dump our compost there too. In the fall, I screen the soil from the garden beds, and add screened soil from the compost pile and if all goes well, I cover and store the fresh (ish) soil in a few raised beds so in the spring I have nicely screened soil that is ready for planting.
