It is important to compost no what where you live. I didn’t do it in the city I didn’t think of it. Living in Connecticut it is a must So my neighbor gave my a composter.
We as humans have a symbiotic exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide. We are linked. An herbalist has a link between the plant and the Earth. This should be a give and take situation. We have taken too much from this Earth and give nothing back.
Now you can give back to the Earth —by composting.
Start your own composting on October 31 to November 1 which is Samhaim- It takes several months for organic material to break down into enriched soil. You will have the compost by Spring for your planting season Use fallen leaves, vegetable scraps, flowers, stem etc AVOID animal waste as well as bones and meat( as you do not want to attract rodents etc )Egg shells if crushed are good. I am beginning to put my ‘stuff’ in a commercially built tumbler
It is said that composting is your opportunity to complete the sacred cycle of the seasons and honor the dead. This compost is a magical bed of transformation for my gardens where new life will grow and flowers will bloom
I am excited to begin this process
Until tomorrow…
