Poem: Making Mulch

Making Mulch

City living,

Requires More creative thinking.

A compost pile is easy to start,

And all it takes is a part,

In your yard where you can,

Make the food to Feed your garden.

Find a place that's outta the way,

But easily accessible on a snowy day. 

Making mulch can be a year round task,

Think of the reward your commitment won't be crass.

First, use a chicken wire net,

Then, shape a circle, that's the easiest bet.

No digging is required, 

Maybe a small staketo keep higher.

Then remember to fold the top in,

Otherwise you'll getta new frien'.

This big guy will be your doom,

Since he'll eat your gold, in the tummy of the raccoon.

Gardening Necessity: A Winter Spent Collecting Egg shells and BIG HUGE Tomatoes as my Reward

Gardening Necessity: A Winter Spent Collecting Egg shells and BIG HUGE Tomatoes, a photo by areyousureaboutthatblog on Flickr.

I am an avid city gardener. We are on a slightly oversized Chicago lot. With plenty of room for a veggie garden, flower beds, compost pile, dog poop compost, and a kids play area on wood chips.

Over the winter months I still compost, throwing our scraps outdoors. However my egg shells are broken into smaller pieces and kept in a container until their ready to be used in my tomato garden. This year I'll also be adding fish heads (or shrimp peelings), yes really. Supposedly the nutrition provided to the plant from compost, eggs shells as fish scraps is tremendous.

More to come!
