All last year I composted in one of my pools in the garden..When it came time to plant this year, I sifted what seemed like tons of dirt with my compost mixed in. I ended up with all the stuff that had not degraded and just left it there. Well then I realized that I needed space for the melons..no where to put them but the old compost and boy am I glad I did. The melons are going crazy. These pictures are the first melons that we discovered, since then they have more than doubled in size. (that was only 4 days ago)
I have a few piles like that where I have planted hydrangeas and squash. They are doing really well. Welcome to Blotanical!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging. Warning: it's addictive! I'm growing Marrows and Cucumbers in big bins of well-rotted home-made compost. Hoping for a good result.
ReplyDeleteMellon sure loves good compost, the more the better!
ReplyDeleteI do LOVE a good compost plant! This year it was tomatoes that blossomed wildly from the scraps. Mother Nature is the goddess of growth!
