Biosystem's Garden of Struggles

Haha, @gedLang, I dumped some coconut water/milk that was about to go bad. I am constantly feeding the soil with scraps from our fridge. I need to be better about adding more bones.

Never thought about adding bones. Wouldn't they take a long time to break down, unless you were drying and grinding them? I do worm bin composting but I do not give them any animal products. Bones go to soup stock for me.

Mmm soup stock.
Yes, bones take a while to break down, but constant additions make sure that you are always replenishing the calcium and phosphates for the plants. I don't use synthetic fertilizers (just a preference), so I have to make sure I have plenty of organic matter for the plants and microbes to access.
