Our Experiment in Compost Gardening

My husband is amazing. He bought a com-poster last year. We had an amazing garden the year prior by using seeds. This year we wanted to experiment. We put our plants at the end of the season in the com-poster as well as the seeds from our food, and food that could compost well.

We would stir the compost every month or so. Then in early spring, with a shovel, and wheel barrow we moved the compost to our garden area, and spread it out. along the garden area we used last year. 










After a week or so, we had plants budding! It was very exciting. We called it our Mystery Garden. Since we had no idea what would grow. We put a lot of seeds into the compost! 

Then, a few weeks later we had plants growing every where! It was crazy! My husband has thinned it out now, and it looks like we have a three different types of squash plants, and two tomato plants. We are quite proud of our Mystery Garden, and can't wait to eat our left over food!
