I am an ameteur blogger, so bear with me. Dirt, as in soil, especially garden soil, is one of my spare time pursuits. I have 6 raised bed gardens and a huge homemade compost pile. Two weeks ago I planted my first cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach and lettuce.
Most years, I try to push the season too early and lose a few plants due to cold weather that is so umpredictable in March here in Oklahoma. Hopefully, none of the plants I put out already will be affected by this cold weather.
I have a huge compost pile that has been cooking each year for the past 3-4 years. It is predominately grass clippings and shredded oak leaves from the property. I have also put coffee grounds from Starbucks in it on some occassions. I turn it frequently and use the oldest first to incorporate into my raised beds.
Now, about me -- the name GaSavage comes from the fact that I was raised on a small farm in Georgia (GA) and loved to run naked through the woods and fields as a kid (savage.) I will not update my blog often since I have much work to do in the garden unless I get hundreds of posts in a very short time.
I am a retired school superintendent, father, grandfather, husband, son-in-law, brother-in-law, and several other names which can't be repeated here.
Later,
GaSavage
