Marisol works at the Oasis Gardens in Austin, Tx. This wholly organic farm produces bountiful produce of such beauty and splendor the likes of which your local grocery store has probably never seen.
In this lesson, with a pleasant degree of pep and vivaciousness, she divulges everything there is to know about homemade organic compost.
Composting is a beneficial activity for many reasons, one being that it keeps easily decomposable organic waste out of the already over-flowing junkyards were it will most likely sit wedged between piles old Coke Zero bottles and discarded America Online start-up discs. And, for the home gardener, the benefits from your own compost heap are astronomical.
It's simple, easy, and environmentally concise...a triple whammy!

I'm so excited about starting my compost today! I'm going to Home Depot and grabbing chicken wire, but I was wondering how often you turn the compost...Just to make sure I'm doing it right, is it bad if you under-turn it?

I have been trying to figure out how to make an organic compost in my backyard for months! This video gave me some great tips on how to get started and what to put and not put in the compost. Great footage.

What about fruit? 06/19/2007

Very well made, I feel ready to start making our compost. There was only one question that wasn't answered and that is if any fruit could be put in the compost? I guess I'm only concerned about fruits with thick and hard peels, like bananas or watermelon.
