This is where composting begins; in the kitchen and the yard.
I wanted to post pictures of my compost and garden for friends on my Discussing Nourishing Traditions grp. There’s nothing fancy about it….just scraps and dirt…makes more dirt!!! The raised beds are so easy to maintain and I don’t know how I worked a garden all those years; tilling, weeding, tilling weeding. You can see how simple it is. My motto: “Work Smarter Not Harder”
You can see the back bed I added some xtra topsoil to and it needs some compost to enrich it.
You can see that the beds are full of dark beautiful soil, even in the winter it’s soft and crumbly (not very technical). They never get walked on and are simple and easy to maintain. Plant, weed and harvest.

We are on hscountry together and I must say that is a very nice setup! We use plasticulture gardening but root crops don’t do well in it. I think I will do those your way this year.
Thanks!

I love your pictures. Each year we “think” about raised beds, then go ahead and plant in the ground. We are at 3500 feet, and need them to be a bit more pampered. I think this year we will make the effort of bed planning. We have a nice compost area “brewing” so I am excited.
Thanks. I just do what works for me. If it doesn’t then I alter it, but it has to fit my lifestyle which is pretty simple because of my health. My motto is: “work smarter not harder”!
