Welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: May 29th, 2022. I would like to ask you to check out the holidays being shared today and ask you to let me know which Holiday you most want to share and why. Charlie and I have decided with all of our Flowers being taken to his grandmother’s since were moving that we will begin composting and take it down to her to help with the Flowers she will be growing.
Learn About Composting Day is a great opportunity to “Go Green” and help the environment. Did you know composting is easy and composting makes you feel good, knowing you are doing your part to keep our environment a little bit cleaner. You may be surprised at how easy it is to compost and, everyone can compost.
As you learn about composting, you will be surprised at all the things you can compost and it is common knowledge, that you can compost garden and yard vegetation, as well as vegetable scraps. But, you can also recycle many other things, including papers, untreated wood, and cardboard. Cardboard paper towel and toilet paper holders are great items to compost.
Did you know you can use compost around your plants, to feed them, keep the weeds down, and to help retain soil moisture. If you don’t have a yard, you can give the compost items away to family and friends that do. Your reward will be flowers, vegetables or herbs from thankful gardeners.
You can make Compost Tea with your compost materials to feed your indoor and outdoor plants! This compost Tea will save you $$$.
