I spent a day last week composting my flower beds, and since I had a few questions about it from some of my students, I thought I’d give an explanation here.
Step 1:
Put your table scraps in a compost bin.
Step 2:
Put your grass, leaves etc. in a compost pile.
Step 3:
At the end of the season, mix food scraps and grass, cover with a sheet and let sit over the winter.
Step 4:
Move to “second compost site”, cover with sheet and leave for one year.
Step 5:
Sift the compost to remove big clumps etc. (I use this big green basket tray).
Step 6;
Use compost wherever you need it. This year I put it all around my flower beds and trees. Last year I spread it on my grass.
Step 7:
Enjoy your beautiful flowers.

Composting is good for the environment, good for your health, and good for your garden.
Let’s compost!
