Natures Gift

Echinacea and Rudbeckia
Echinacea and Rudbeckia

A winter’s blast has brought an abrupt end to the floral growing season in zone 4.  Prior to the cold weather I cleared my flower beds of dead foliage and debris and added a fresh layer of compost to the existing soil to provide nutrients and stability for next season.  Now the snow has created a blanket of moisture and my compost can go to work. One of Mother Nature’s free gifts and an ingredient in my compost pile are decomposed leaves.  Why purchase bags of compost when you can create your own!  Cheers  http://zinniaboy.com/compost/
