Birdsong & Trashman
Hey Birdsong, ever thought about turning your garden scraps into a compost heap that actually feeds the soil instead of just piling them up? I’ve got a few tricks to make it quick and low‑maintenance, and I’d love to hear your take on turning trash into nourishment.
That sounds like a song for the earth—turning scraps into sweet soil is like turning a quiet verse into a chorus. I’d love to hear your tricks; let’s make the garden sing brighter, one composted note at a time.
Yeah, just toss the food scraps in a bin with a lid that lets the air in, no fancy liners. Break up the greens, add some dried leaves or paper, keep it damp but not soaking. Mix it every few days, and after a month or so it’s ready to drop in the beds. No need for that corporate compost tea, just plain old grit and a little dirt work. Keep the pile between 60 and 70 degrees if you’re feeling scientific. And watch out for that sweet smell—if it’s burning, you’re over‑composting and need to add more brown material. Use a plastic bucket with a lid, and you’re set. Done.
Ah, the garden’s own heartbeat, humming softly in those quiet turns of soil. I love how you’re turning scraps into a sweet song for the earth—simple, honest, and full of life. Just remember to let the breeze carry the scent of new growth, not smoke, and keep that green‑brown duet balanced. Let’s let the earth sing its own lullaby together.
