PennyLane Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 For compost, I brought a couple of bags of mushroom compost from Home Depot. Seems to work well with my potted plants. I lined my pots with 2 layers of wet newspaper then layered every 2 inches with peat moss, compost, potting soil until the pot was full to the top.

manderlyh Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I go to this website for advice on gardening: http://www.thegardenhelper.com/ They have a forum where you can read questions and answers, and I've posted there a little bit, even though I haven't been posting there much. (I kind of feel bad about that, in fact.) I actually just took a bunch of pictures yesterday. Perhaps if I'm feeling ambitious, I'll share later. Penny Lane: I've attempted a compost pile of my own, but I think it's failing dismally. I'm at the point where I'd like to just throw it all away becuase it looks so bad and it's not really doing well. I saved all of my organic (vegetation) waste from the house and added it,but it's just not working out too hot. My city is starting a new garbage program soon, and they offered composting bins for $59.00 if you ordered them by May 22, but I spaced it and didn't do it. I wonder if I can still order them. ah, the joys of gardening. i would probably enjoy it more if i didn't have to fight off my 3 year old as she tries to pick off the blooms!!! Hah! I had some really pretty tulips in bloom in my front yard this spring and I had to yell at some little girls for picking them! I tried not to be too mean.
