In this episode I described some preparation we are undertaking in the garden in anticipation of spring. Topics discussed include maintenance of a compost pile, hot vs not hot composting, and if you add kitchen scrapes to the pile, is it advisable to exclude meat/carcass leftovers. We established a new raised bed. Use of treated lumber and should old palettes should be avoided as garden planters. I also mention mushroom compost and the potential benefits of using that to amend soil.
