Compost is the very best food you can give to the plants in your garden. However, making really great compost requires the right mix of ingredients. In this ...

I have always tried to make sure that I am composting as much waste material as I can throughout the year and it always seems as if my compost is taking forever to finish.  I was out this morning looking through my garden and I decided that it was time to learn more about what makes a good compost pile.  I always knew that you needed to add both green materials, such as grass clippings and food scraps, and brown materials, such as dead leaves and cardboard to the mix but it always seems that I have way more green materials then brown.

In this video they state that a mixture of 3 parts brown materials to 1 part green materials is ideal when combined with the right amount of moisture and air.  You also need to make sure that you are turning your compost every few days, if not daily to make sure that all the materials are getting composted and it is getting the air that it requires.

After watching this video it is obvious to me that I need to start saving and adding tons more brown materials to my compost to make it produce the quantity of compost that I am looking for.

I was outside a few days ago and saw a couple of cabbage moths flying around my garden and I knew it was time to take action!  Last year these darn things, and the worms that they hatch on the leaves in your garden, destroyed all my broccoli, kale, cabbage and lettuce.  It was my first year gardening and I had no idea what the heck was going on and why the leaves on these plants were disappearing!

Once I found out what was causing this destruction last year it was too late.  This year, armed with my new found knowledge, I am not going to let these pests destroy my delicious veggies!
With the weird weather we have been having this spring I wanted to wait until I absolutely had to spray for these pests and I was just outside this morning and noticed a few holes in the leaves and sure enough when I looked closer I found two tiny cabbage worms!

I just ordered a bottle of BT Worm & Caterpillar killer that will arrive tomorrow, just in time to kill these pesky worms!
