I know that sounds strange, but it makes me feel crowded. <br /><br />I hope you and your husband are enjoying the gardens in hot and dry France. I know you are:)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.<br /><br />Warm hugs,<br /><br />donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-37742040686584435072010-07-19T11:15:29.566+01:002010-07-19T11:15:29.566+01:00Those ant eggs look almost edible!

Here, compost would attract mozzies and worse, so not something to have near the house.Jon Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109482917725746950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-81322753031970424022010-07-18T15:02:32.163+01:002010-07-18T15:02:32.163+01:00I have two compost bins which I never turn, they a...I have two compost bins which I never turn, they are top loaded and the finished compost is taken our from the bottom.Turning it is almost impossible as the becomes full.<br />I had only one which was allowed to break down and when it was full I got the second, now one is in use for fresh compost material and the second is allowed to become compost for the garden which it does over time without any turning or help from me! I use it from tiem to tiem and take bagfulls out to the plot for the beans & peas when starting their beds.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-81635041290997387692010-07-18T13:46:49.569+01:002010-07-18T13:46:49.569+01:00The first time I made a compost pile here in New M...The first time I made a compost pile here in New Mexico and went out to turn it, tons of <i>cockroaches</i> scurried out of it! Yuck. I never went near that pile again without my black rubber boots that went up to the knee (I suppose you would call them wellies--so much quicker to say).<br /><br />I recently attended a short class in composting, mainly to find out how to avoid the cockroaches. I wanted to know if I should use one of those composting barrels that are fixed horizontally up off the ground. <br /><br />The answers to my questions? <br /><br />1. Cockroaches are a part of the process here; locate the pile away from the house if they bother you. (!!)<br /><br />2. Don't waste money on one of those fancy composting barrels. The best compost is made right on the ground. <br /><br />I found it interesting that this university soil science professor makes his compost piles all at one time and turns them every day. The hardest part of composting here in the desert is to keep the pile moist. I know that's not a problem for you!clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-56436551715961071852010-07-18T03:32:55.072+01:002010-07-18T03:32:55.072+01:00I think this is your most unique blog ever.

I am not a fan of ants, but they are a part of nature.<br /><br />I normally get my compost turned several times in the summer, but have gotten behind this year, because of all the rain, and then heat. I get compost spread at different times of the season, but mostly in the late summer.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.com
