Coffee Grounds and Kitchen Garbage Become Dirt
Redworms thrive on the microbes of deteriorating kitchen garbage. Coffee grounds, filters, tea bags, loose tea, peelings of all types, scrapings and paper provide organic nutrition that the worms turn into wonderful black dirt.

This year, I had planned to set up a pumpkin vine on some trellises that had nothing growing on them. I love the huge green leaves and even bigger golden blossoms. Pumpkins would just be a bonus! I didn’t plan on the compost pile delivering me two huge packages of pumpkin seedlings! One was moved…

Walking between the upper end of the garden and the tree line was a treacherous project. Earlier, green apples had dropped to threaten, but they were cotton balls…
Rain and spring weather in the Ozarks
