Adele Michelsen z6/7 LI, NY replied to Kristen H.'s discussion Bugs and composting in the group Compost"If any of you live near the water, you can use seaweed in the compost, instead of paper. It can also go straight into the garden as mulch, to keep the weeds from growing. I can remember as a kid, my parents going down to the bay with garbage bags to…"
Melody Leftwich z8 TX replied to Kristen H.'s discussion Bugs and composting in the group Compost"Well, I'll be honest and say that the info on paper came from the city I live in.

Spring in Utah

Was hoping to have a day of spreading mulch and weeding, but it is just too dang chilly here in Utah! It's been about 50 degrees all day. However, my sunflowers are sprouting out of the ground (yeah!) and my compost is doing very well. I have been aerating and turning it every day. I tried Melody's advice of orange peel to help keep away the pesty gnats and it is working like a charm. Should have my first batch of compost pretty soon. I'm excited!

- Kristen, your photos are really good. You definately have the eye and know how to use a camera. I read in one of your posts that you are "very critical of your photos." Now I can see why. It is not just something you enjoy, it looks like you have a passion for it! Its similar to gardening. We are always trying to improve and we never quite feel like we have arrived. It's sometimes hard to find the balance between being content and the discontentment. Keep up the good work!
