We love compost! We are beginner gardeners and compost is saving our sorry vegetable garden. This year we started adding egg shells and this year is the first that we haven't had a problem with blossom end rot on our tomatoes. Compost is our friend that seems to cover our inexperienced missteps and is turning our sad, hard clay into a fruitful, lush source of organic produce for our family. And digging the compost into the soil is a great job for little diggers. Kids love it and really love the worms that love it too! We only wish we had more (oh yeah, and some horse manure too). Yeah for compost!
