Let It Rot!: The Gardener's Guide to Composting (Third Edition) (Storey's Down-To-Earth Guides)

#020: Break it down & Plan it Out!

These seem like basics things to talk about, but they are crucial (just like our last episode) to making sure gardening doesn't seem to overwhelming. We are always going for WELL ON LESS. Back to my gardening motto: Grow something & keep learning.

I admit, I'm not a compost guru but I've tried a lot of methods (and dreamed of others). Today's podcast gives you some quick experiences, tips and great references for making compost less intimidating. When it comes to garden planning, it's not complicated...... if you take a little time for prep and tap into a few resources. I'm sharing both local and nationwide links to make your life easier. Of course, just TRYING gives you loads of experience, but gardening start needs to be simple and not break the bank. An expensive garden is a garden people give up on!
