| WHAT IS COMPOST GARDENING?
Compost Gardening uses on-site, time-saving composting techniques that create new growing space, solve site problems, host beneficial insects, and invigorate soil during every season of the year. Information and methods related to Compost Gardening are detailed in The Complete Compost Gardening Guide, by Barbara Pleasant and Deborah L. Martin (Storey Publishing, February 2008, $19.95).
←If you share composting space with a dog, dump yummy-smelling kitchen scraps in an underground Pit-of-Plenty. A hinged lid makes access easy for humans (but not animals). Protected from rain and surface evaporation and fed a steady stream of kitchen waste, a Pit-of-Plenty will produce a rich, high-nitrogen compost.
Step-by-step plans for this frame with hinged plywood lid (in a standard pre-cut size) appear on page 184-185 in Chapter 6: Composting Underground in Craters, Trenches and Holes.
