@nidramok: Funny how the things our grandparents did start making more sense as we get older 🌱 My granddad never had a compost pile. Neither did my dad. Instead, suitable plant-based kitchen scraps went right back to the garden. I used to think it was just about wasting less. Now I see it differently. The garden feeds us all season — and after the harvest, I like giving something back to the soil. Buried organic material breaks down over time and adds organic matter and nutrients to the soil. I stick to suitable plant scraps and keep meat, dairy, grease and diseased material out. What did your parents or grandparents do that finally makes sense to you now? #Gardening #GardenTips #Composting #FallGardening #OrganicGardening

I'm a renter. I do this with raised beds and pots by rotating which pots were "put to bed for the season" and which ones were actively growing

Nope. It’s putting too much good stuff on one place. If you’ve got space start a compost heap. I’ve got a three bay. By the time the third one is full the first one is rotted down and ready to include in each hole when I plant new seedlings.
