The Pit Controversy

Hello my wonderful gardening chums, it’s Beatrix Potts your, “Organic Gardening Enthusiast.”  First a word or two about our title. When you are given inaccurate and even false information about organic gardening fertilizer your organic vegetable garden may be in terrible danger. Bad information is just as dangerous as cutworms. We are here to set the record straight and give you the most reliable information   available.

More Than Essential

So, on with the show. Beatrix is here to tell you that organic fertilizer, a.k.a. organic gardening compost is the life’s blood of your organic vegetable garden. Organic gardening is incomplete without organic gardening compost.  This is not just an essential element of organic vegetable gardening it is probably the singular most important element. And it is the element that you can produce and control. Understanding organic garden fertilizer will allow you to understand how important the plant’s life is and it will help the soil, insects, and everything that our wonderful vegetables need to grow and thrive.

OK, to Put in Your Compost

Many of my gardening aficionados have written to me and asked, “Beatrix, what can I put into my

compost?” My dear, the answer is quite simple:

1. twigs, hay and straw

2. leaves, grass clippings

3. eggshells, many kitchen scraps

4. formerly fresh fruit,

5. teabags, coffee grounds,

6. and you always want a good mix of “Greens and Browns.”
