| 6 pots of compost! 2 of which are done!!! YAY! |
 |
| It smells earthy, which means it is a success! If it smells otherwise, then that means the composting failed! |
 |
| Successful compost makes me a very happy gardener! |
 |
| I was very happy to see the Garden Soldier Fly as they lay eggs in compost or rotting food. The eggs will hatch into grubs, that eat the rotting food! Composting will speed up! *YAY!* |

Very beautiful. Love your bugs, too. Chives will improve the flavor of tomatoes, too. Do you have marigolds there? If so, put some pots of marigolds around the tomatoes - they protect tomatoes from all kinds of bugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have never planted marigolds. Am attempting Zinnias! Will check whether marigolds will survive in our climate. :) I want TULIPS though! Hehehe...
