Spring 2024 • Start with Soil
Compost 101: turning kitchen scraps into garden gold
We kicked off with a simple kitchen-to-compost system, focusing on carbon-rich browns and nitrogen-rich greens to build rich, crumbly soil for raised beds.
Summer 2024 • Seed to Soil
Mulching and moisture: conserving water
Organic mulch layered around vegetables and perennials suppressed weeds, moderated soil temperature, and reduced irrigation needs.
Fall 2024 • Nutrient Cycling
Leaf litter and compost tea
We salvaged fallen leaves to enrich compost piles and brewed tea from compost-friendly extracts to boost soil biology without synthetic inputs.
Winter 2025 • Systemize for Sustainability
Rain capture and soil beds
Implemented simple rain barrels and moved beds to leverage sun and wind, improving overall resilience of the garden ecosystem.
