hi i moved into a place a year and a half ago that had an existing composte bin..plastic standing model. It was half full when i moved in the winter. I spent last summer just putting grass clippings garden waste..filled it with leaves in the fall and again in the spring. Have yet to use any …as the garden had a lot of weeds im worried about using this composte will i just end up replanting the weeds

I’m on to this big time….I garden 6 -4×4′x16″ raised( local cedar) beds and various raised ground beds for flowers and herbs….Like to top up everything from my huge compost pile in the spring….but mucking around never proves as successful as I’d like…This way I can pitch fork in an amount and give it some whorls with earth…things recess every spring too…..

Got my friend onto aluminum pipe….
I’ll pour the cement etc…..so excited…

I’m a 62 year old retired chef and loving gardener….

What a terrific idea, I’m in Northern Ontario and will attempt to grow sweet potatoes using slips the way you have described. Hopefully I will have something to brag about soon. Thanks

Hey Huw Crosby

You can also place sweet potatoes (I love Beauregards) in rotted sawdust or even light topsoil, and gobs of slips will grow from them. You just pick them off when they get to the size you want and place the ends in water where they will grow roots. When the roots are about an inch long, they are ready to plant.

We’re going to try it this year. We used to buy slips for 16c apiece. No longer possible. If it’s that easy, we can grow our own. I have the very large, 2 lbs each, sweet potatoes. Don’t know if that large will work. We’ll try both ends and whole. Thanks!!

Comment on Winter Composting Wrap-Up by Leslie

It is January and here in NJ I am dreaming of what to put in the garden next year.

We compost a small bin from the kitchen, to an outside rotating composter. My question is at what time should we stop adding to this composter so that it has time to break down our lovely kitchen scraps and outdoor leaves, so that it can be incorporated into the garden bed soil in the spring?

Please reply to my e-mail address as well. Thank you.

This is awesome, it has given me the baseline for the composting proposal I am preparing. I hope you’ll help me in my Pet Project? Thank you. Please advise on how I can make it a success at a regional level or advise on where I can get help. Thank you.
