Welcome to another episode of the Beginners Garden podcast. I sure hope your garden is growing

really well right now. Regardless of where you are in your garden journey, you probably know

how important the quality of your soil is. I'll have to be honest with you. I didn't really

understand this all that well, especially my first

few seasons, but I have learned over the years that the quality of the soil makes a huge

difference in the quality and quantity of the harvest. You may have heard me and others talk about

how homemade compost can be a huge source of nutrients for your garden.

But perhaps that whole idea is a little bit overwhelming to you.

It is to a lot of beginners.

It's been a while since we've actually focused on compost here on the podcast, and I thought,

you know, it would be a good time for us to talk about different options

that would be doable for you. I've also gotten several questions on the topic and I just decided

to be nice to go ahead and discuss it here. So today we're going to be talking about two popular

ways of composting, both that I have personally used and can talk about the pros and

cons of each. We're going to be talking about a compost pile and a compost tumbler, which is right

for you. My hope is that by the end of this episode, if you haven't already delved into the world

of composting then you

will be ready to get started and if you're like me and you've done it before maybe

some of these tips will help you be able to expand and even tighten your

composting system so you can have more and more of this nutrient-rich

soil to give you a better soil quality in a bigger harvest.
