  1. We add stable manure, about 8 inches or more every year, but I'd like the start adding more green manure. We also have 4 com posters, but it's never enough. Thank you for the great information.

  2. Great video, thank you. The weed variety with the little flower, looks a lot like Gallant soldier (Galinsoga parviflora) I think, which is edible and it also has medicinal uses.

  3. do all weeds make good Compost? I just weeded my yard and have mountains of grassy type weeds..pulled up roots and all..I am hesitant to add these to my regular compost because I think they mat grow a bunch of weeds in my compost…then I'll have to weed my compost pile. Your weeds look much more friendly than mine. mabe if I run them through a shredder?..I live in North. Cal

  4. Good info mark. I'll use it on a few of my weedy beds.
    Question: I have heard that some folks take kitchen waste/trimmings and bury them in a bed that will be dormant for a few months. As opposed to dumping the waste into a compost pile go straight to the bed with it, dig a trench and dump the trimmings right to the bed. Cover them up and forget about them. Any thoughts on that?
