Composting

I realized that I must have planted my bulbs too early last fall as I am already getting a few shoots coming in! So my solution was to add some of my wonderful home grown compost to the flowerbed, and hope that that would hold them off. So my first task was to go to Lowes and buy a wheelbarrow. After that I dug deep to the center of my compost heap, it was like black gold in there! I took 4 wheelbarrow fulls out to the front bed and spread it all out, I think I added about 4 inches or so. Then cam the really taxing part I dug and mixed all of the remaining compost. I have a lot of it, enough so that I think I'll be able to cover all of my beds and have some left to throw in a few new plantings I want to do this spring. So I mixed, turned, and aerated all of it and I think I have about 7 - 10 more wheelbarrows full! It was good and moist from all of the recently melted snow. It's good stuff I tell ya!
