Every gardener knows about compost. Or so we think. I grew up with two huge compost bins out back. Whatever was leftover was thrown in them. The chickens were let in to scratch and the piles turned regularly, but there were things I didn't know about composting until now.
Today we're going to talk about composting methods and myths.
What? There are things you shouldn't compost? This was all new to me!
