Bonsai Plants and Gardens

Springtime brings on all of our outdoor gardening cravings. Finally we can make use of that compost pile that we worked on so much last year in order to produce our own fertilizer. This is a great way to nourish our new plants and maintain a higher level of organic gardening. Not only will our rotted organic matter enhance the soil in our garden but it can also be used as potting soil for those new plant propagation methods we are so eager to begin. Before you start on your first composting project of the year, plan out your composting for next year’s resource.
There are quite a few methods when it comes to composting; some use the open composting method by building a pile of compost out in the woods or yard, others use composting tumblers and bins. You may prefer the tumbler method  if you can’t commit to watering down your project constantly. Turn the pile on a regular basis. However, that’s not to say that a tumbler is better than open composting; both methods produce the same amount of organic matter in the same amount of time so long as you keep the heaps aerated. Tumblers keep animals and rodents away from your compost.
Your pile will stay securely in the tumbler until it’s ready to be removed. Tumblers are convenient and fun to maintain.  Maintaining open compost heaps, using a pitch fork to turn compost may not be appealing at all. Something about spinning or flipping my compost tumbler while on a steady axis sounds easier.
