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.

The Fun Creating Organic Worm Compost
A solution has been discovered to one of the environmental problems and the lack of nutrition in soil. This technique has undergone exhaustive testing in laboratories and has been demonstrated to be of use.
Worm compost is the answer to many gardening problems. Some people may experience goose bumps with the thought of all those worms in a single area and so many worms can cause your everyday person to shiver.
Worms have been reputed to greatly benefit the soil and the compost bin. It is not much of a surprise that they play a vital role in the processing of compost. The process of worm compost may take a little getting used to, try to open your mind and consider the advantages of worm composting.
No matter if you decide to have your worm compost inside a structure or out in the elements, you can have them either inside, or outside, it doesn’t matter. The good thing is that you won’t worry much about your worm compost. They are very easy to move and are non-complaining workers day by day for relatively no charge. All you need to do is feed them to keep them in top condition.
Worms enjoy damp soil moisture being one of the easiest parts of composting. If you are able to provide the moisture, you can just wait and see until the works perform their work in helping you keeping your soil fertilized.
Worms are mainly readily available and are very easy to find in a few areas you need not look very hard at all. You just have to grab a jar and pay attention to the ground while walking in the garden since they will be happy in an enclosed area rich with food.
