Westview Compost Garden project 1 year in the making July 2008-July 2009
This is a video documenting a compost garden project that I started in July 2008. It shows the progression from an empty clay field into a lush garden using only garden waste and seeds. It won’t happen over night, actually it takes about a year depending on your climate, but it’s free and good for the enviroment. If you have any questions please send me a message.
Here is a more detailed list of all the steps to make this garden happen.
1. I staked out the area where I wanted my flowerbed (50 x 3 feet.)
2. I then collected bags of grass clippings and leaves from my neighborhood and worked them into the clay soil.
3. I continued to collect more grass clipping and leaves throughout the summer and fall ( about 20 bags total) and added them to the area I staked out.
4. I would periodically turn the pile to allow the organic matter to decompose.
5. In late October I scattered the area in seeds which I had been collecting from my own yard and from friends, family and neighbors.(such as poppies, bachelor buttons etc.)
6. I let the area sit for the whole winter.
7. In early spring I gave the organic matter one last turn.
And that’s it.
