today we decided to get our compost really going. we bought some hay (and this is what happens when you don't have a truck.:
we also bought some manure... mixed it all up with some food waste.... now we have about 5 inches in our compost cage. it has been really helpful to rent composting books from the public library. nic and i are learning things like you can add laundry lent and small fibers to the heap. shrimp shells are very good for it, and also urine.
anyways, we decided to plant some herbs for inside germination while we wait for the compost to stew. we planted dill, parsley, basil, kale, cilantro and lavender. we're also trying some colorado wildflowers.
we've got them covered up inside now, with a make-shift cage around them so the cat stays out. it felt good to be outside with my hands in dirt all day! unfortunately my car is full of hay and i need to go take care of that!
