While watching Jasper's cartoons, we learned about composting. We decided to give it a try, so Josh researched some compost bins and planned to build one. Last weekend, we found out that my grandparents have one they are going to give us. So, we've moved on to the next project - the raised-bed garden. Josh built it last weekend and we put down cardboard first (as a weed barrier that will decompose) then a layer of leaves and grass clippings. We are going to throw our vegetable peelings in there until we pick up the compost bin. Jasper's pet snake is now at home in the garden!
Last night we went and got a load of topsoil. Josh shoveled it in and Jasper played in it! We plan to mix in some manure (the kind you get in bags at the store) and then some more yard waste and then top it with more topsoil. Hope we get some good veggies this year!
