Good Compost, Good Soil, Good Food

I’m tak­ing a soil sci­ence class at Mira­Costa col­lege in Ocean­side, CA, and we’re doing a lot of com­post­ing. A friend in the class told me two local cities, Carls­bad and Encini­tas, sub­si­dize the cost of buy­ing a nice Smith and Hawken stack­able com­post bin from the Solana Cen­ter in Encini­tas. Being such that this soil stuff is really cool and hip, I went down imme­di­ately to buy one– the com­post­ing guy there Mike was really friendly and gave me some good com­post­ing tips on brown to green mate­r­ial ratios. Here’s some pic­tures from my begin­ning attempts to com­post. I’m lucky to have a hay stack (for the brown mate­r­ial) that Jared brought over to pro­tect our myceli­ated wood chips from last year.
