Tags: Organic Composting

Give it a little thought and you’ll see that organic composting is just another means of recycling. By making organic compost for your kitchen garden, not only will the plants thrive from this easy recycling , but so will everyone who partakes of your bounty , as you eat the fruits and vegetables that your garden produces .

when you compost, what you are doing is decomposing organic matter that previously existed , so it can be used to provide nutrients to be worked into the soil to help new plants thrive . The task does require work , so it is wise to do a bit of reading and consulting on the subject first, to make certain you do it correctly .

You'll want to place all your necessities into a bucket or as a minimum into some container which you can maintain . Some literature suggest getting a dedicated composting drum in order that you can move the material around periodically . If you prefer, a nice big trash can will work , or or even a dug hole in cleared soil , used for nothing but for this project .

Composting Material To Use

You should incorporate all those fruit and vegetable food refuse you normally would be tossing out . Add grass, hay and leaves , and you'll have a wonderful mix . The general guidelines , according to the Garden Organic website, is incorporating your best estimate of equal amounts of "green" and "brown" organic items .

"Green" items can incorporate things like grass cuttings, nettles, raw vegetable discards from your kitchen, tea bags and coffee grounds , soft prunings from green plants , and herbivore animal manure. All these items are full of nitrogen, and they rot rapidly. "Browns" would include cardboard items like cereal boxes or egg cartons , landscape clippings, paper shreds, expired lawn plants , sawdust, and wood shavings . Items such as these are rich in carbon , and rot slower .

Avoid entirely , say the advisors at Garden Organic, would include meat, fish , cooked food, feces from your pets , and disposable diapers.

You can create the compost in your container by blending the greens and browns together in equal bulk, along with some twigs and scrunched cardboard in spots to create spaces for air and to allow drainage. With time, Allow some time and) the blend of matter at the greatest depth will generate heat and this tells you that the composting process is doing nicely . You'll need to turn the material  once in a while , to allow the top and bottom layers exchange places and non-composted material also has the chance to become compost. The turning provides oxygen, which is the catalyst for the composting progress. The more often you mix up the matter , the faster the material will decompose .

Composting Procedure

The composting procedure, once the material is in the chosen container, could take up to a year if the container is full and you leave it alone (apart from turning). You can count on the process to take a minimum of six months even even if you put in smaller amounts and turn the mixture often . You can take at least a partial shortcut before stirring up matter that's been in the container for some time , by checking whether the matter at the bottom have composted sufficiently to be remove . You might only lift off the topmost, less-composted matter and pull finished compost from the bottom to work into your garden soil, then simply return  the less ready material back in the bin , adding new layers on top.

There are some plant materials that should never be included in your compost, such as like those that had been infested with insects and molds. Some of these might be permissible to include, but unless you're going to do a lot of careful research to discover which is good and which isn't, it's best just to leave all of them out. After all, you’re not going to run out of other composting material.

You'll be really amazed if you grow tomatoes topsy turvy. Instead of hanging downward, the fruit will turn upward to gather the sun, creating a very beautiful display.

A great plant to grow upside down is the patio tomato or cherry tomato. Peppers such as jalapeño, cayenne, and Tabasco, or any plant which produces small fruit on strong limbs and branches will work great. Green bell peppers do not work well because the weight of the large peppers tends to break the branches before the pepper is matured. Always select varieties which are suitable for container gardening for your topsy turvy gardening efforts. Leafy herbs such as oregano and basil are also perfect for this type of gardening.

Many gardeners who have used the upside down growing method obtain better production yield than produced by the same varieties when planted in the ground. Perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that there is less stress on the branches and much better circulation of air.

The concept of topsy turvy gardening is really simple. This growing method works best using seedlings, whether you grew them from seeds or purchased them already growing. Rather than planting seedlings into prepared soil in the ground, the plants are planted in buckets or hanging baskets pointing downward. Common plastic five gallon buckets with plastic handles work really well for this type of gardening. You can also use large plastic pots with suitable sized holes in the bottom. If you elect to use large clay pots, you may find it difficult to prepare the pot bottom and the weight is significantly greater, requiring a much stronger hanger and plant hook to support the planter.

Ideally, you want to use a planter which already had a handle but you can attach plant hangers if necessary to support the planter from your plant hanger. Five gallon plastic buckets can often be obtained at no charge from restaurants because these businesses purchase products such as bulk condiments, prepared coleslaw and potato salad in these containers. Frequently, once they are emptied, the food service business discards the buckets, resulting in more and more plastic filling our landfills. Simply as a restaurant you frequent if you can have some empty buckets and they will likely be happy for you to take them away.

Wash your plastic bucket well to remove any food or debris. If using a large plastic pot, clean it will if it has been used previously. If it is brand-new, you can simply rinse the pot to remove any dust or dirt collected while stored in the garden center or outlet.

Planter Preparation

Before planting, you will need to properly prepare your planter. Because the plant will be hanging down from the bottom, you will need to drill or cut a hole in the bottom of the bucket of enlarge the drainage hole in the plastic pot. In most cases, plastic buckets have a circular indentation in the bottom which is about two to two and one-half inches in diameter. Use this as a guide for creating your hole. You want to create a hole between two and three inches in size. This hole will be the opening from which the plant hangs and grows.

Planting Your Upside Down Planter

Place the bucket or pot right side up with the hole pointing down between two objects such as boards in order to expose the hole but support the planter. If the stem root bundle is smaller than the hole, place a small square of cheese cloth or other porous cloth, sphagnum moss, coffee filters, or newspaper in the bottom and cut an opening through which the plant can extend.

Very gently tread the seedling leaves and stems down through the opening, or if the root bundle is small, pass it up through the hole and wrap the cloth, moss, coffee filter, or newspaper around it for support. Hold the seedling so that two inches of the stem extends from the bottom of the planter.

While continuing to support the seedling in place, pack potting soil around the stem in order to anchor the plant and ensure it will not slide out of the opening. While continuing to hold the seedling in position, continue to add soil to the bucket, packing it firmly. Once you have added enough soil to support the seedling properly, you can release the plant. Continue to add soil until the planter or bucket is about an inch or two above the root bundle. On top of this soil, add a layer of compost, about one inch deep. Then fill the planter the rest of the way with soil, stopping about one inch from the top of the planter.

Hanging the Planter
Install a sturdy hook from which to hang your planter. Because a five gallon bucket of soil can be quite heavy when wet, it is better to use a larger hook than you believe necessary rather than erring on the smaller side and ending up having your plant hook fall out of the support.
Hang the plastic bucket from the attached handle. If using a pot, place a top-edge hanging system on the top so that nothing constricts the pot bottom or interferes with the growing plant. String plant hangers simply will not work since they have knots at the bottom which will damage the plant.
Water the plant well. You will know you have enough water when water begins dripping from the bottom hole shortly after watering. After watering, check the level of the soil to ensure it hasn't settled more than two inches from the top of the planter. Add more soil if necessary.
If you have the lid for the bucket, you can place it loosely on the top of the planter, but do not seal. This can prevent moisture loss and extend periods between watering. If you have no lid or are using a pot, be certain you water frequently enough to keep the soil moist. Frequently check the soil level to ensure that it has not lowered and, if needed, add more soil to the top of the planter.
