When do you use your compost?
Comments (14)I think the key to having a fancy compost pile is to have a nice set-up to start with.... and a good sized staff doesn't hurt either. Throw yard waste in a pile and come back in a year or two. Those are the basics, you can take it as far as you want. Right now I'm at the pile it up and do nothing stage, once I get things a little more organized I'd like to have a neater work area with three or so bins, a little hedging or vines around it, maybe some scrap paving and bricks down on the ground.... I will never have a screen though. My staff of one will never have enough ambition to screen the compost before using it. If I'm lucky he will turn the pile once a year to seperate it into "good enough to use" and "just as fresh as the day I threw it in". My staff isn't even ambitous enough to dig in the compost when planting, usually it gets used as a mulch around special plants. You really can't get good help these days. Right now he is refusing to work out in the rain. Instead he's sitting on the computer posting to a gardening forum and thinking that an ice cream bar sounds like a good idea....See MoreWhen you put manure in your yard what do your dogs do?
Comments (3)No odor. But that may also mean no nutrients. My uncle, an old farmer when I was growing up, spread manure on his fields and tilled it in within 24 hours of spreading it so the nutrients would not be lost to the atmosphere. He said what you smell from manure is nutrients going out into the air....See MoreHow do you use your senses when you cook?
Comments (26)I use smell, but I think I use sight more. How can you "smell" when onions are transluscent? I suppose they might have a certain smell at that point, but I think I use sight more. I never really thought about it before I guess!! I usually taste at the end to adjust seasoning as Annie said. Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I do use smell a bit more than I thought. When I'm making things like Cuban black beans or chili, I do smell to make sure I have enough spice - I can smell whether there's enough cumin for example. But in dishes that have to cook a long time, like gravy (spaghetti sauce), it doesn't make sense to taste until you're getting towards the end because the alcohol in the wine needs to cook out, the different ingredients need time to meld, etc. I guess whatever works for you is the right way to do it! Everyone has their own technique. Lisa...See MoreHow do you store your bed pillows when not in use?
Comments (11)If the wicker is already medium to dark in color, leave it as is. Otherwise, paint it an espresso color. You could place it at the end of the bed or in the closet. I asked this very question several months ago and it seems most people do not have a good place to store pillows. I would like to get a tall square wicker container with a cover and keep that in the closet for pillows. I have not found one yet....See Morebreezygirl
