Last spring I emptied my composter into my freshly-designed rock garden. After two years of adding grass, leaves & food waste and one year of stewing, I only got a few handfuls of compost. Guess which side got the compost?I dumped topsoil on top of the compost and on the right side. I planted the impatiens in May and this is what I have five months later--a beautiful, but lopsided, annual bed of flowers.
Unfortunately, I will now have to wait another year or two for this summer's batch of compost to stew. Perhaps I'll have award-winning tomatoes next year.
