And also would like to share with you that Beehive composter also is one of the most essential beehive materials that should be taken into consideration. Bee droppings can also be useful as natural fertilizer for your garden soil. So it is advisable to purchase your composter that is beneficial and practical to use.Ramilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387019675683817290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-19831056163872945492010-09-22T09:19:42.939+10:002010-09-22T09:19:42.939+10:00Floridagirl,

My compost bin takes up hardly any space and is really very effective, and tidy.<br />Kimberley,<br />I loved using pine needles - they made great long lasting and good looking mulch, but I have also heard that they can make the soil quite acidic, so keep an eye on that.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-27554029828941347522010-09-22T05:40:51.041+10:002010-09-22T05:40:51.041+10:00Very creative, aren't you?!?!

However, I add to the soil directly...such as your fish compost. I also use pine needles as mulch (I am surrounded by pine trees) and let the leaves lie in the garden beds. I also purchase "bunny blessings" and composted horse manure on occasion. I'm envious of your seaweed. I'm going to comb the shores for it now...great idea. Why didn't I think of it?!?!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123627573356760362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-37751150750532659162010-09-21T23:41:47.371+10:002010-09-21T23:41:47.371+10:00LOL!

And I've never thought of fish, though back in school, we all learned that's how the Indians taught the Pilgrims to grow corn. Hmmm... <br /><br />I've never been that serious with my composting, just adding leaves and sticks and moss directly to beds, throwing yard waste into a very unofficial compost heap, and (like Ami said above) throwing the excess under a hedge. The garden is so tiny, that I can't bear to add real compost bins to it.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-70718870416536884182010-09-21T14:33:21.809+10:002010-09-21T14:33:21.809+10:00Ami, the thing I like most about that method is th...Ami, the thing I like most about that method is that you dont have it all in your garbage bin stinking up the neighbourhood!<br />Thanks Missy, I am always on the lookout for more ideas.<br />Mary, well it did look prettier on you!

They seem so hard to break down, especially I keep adding the new ones. Your post gives me lots of ideas! Hmmm, our family all loves the seafood, until today I have not used any of those wastes in my garden yet. I got to try doing that!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.com
