Sheet composting is a method that you add layer upon layer of organic materials on top of each other and let them cook down or decompose over a period of time. It is also an eco- friendly way to garden. As the organic material decomposes it turns into a rich humus loose soil that is ideal for growing your crops directly in. It is also a great way to create a garden in an area that is hard to dig or can’t be dug at all.
This method of composting is a method that is regularly used in a no-dig garden. It is a way to create a natural environment for all the beneficial organisms in the soil to work the garden soil for you. Building a healthy organic soil structure is what you want when organic gardening. This organic matter is what is needed to supply the soil food web and help create a healthy environment.
The materials that can be sheet composted are the same materials that you would put into your compost pile or bin. All your organic yard waste as well as organic household waste can be included and there is no labor involved but to carry it out to the area you are composting and spread it out.
Start you on sheet composting operation in your own yard and create a healthy environment that your crops will benefit from. They will have a steady supply of all the natural nutrients needed for them to thrive and produce a healthy and high yielding crop.
A environment friendly and healthy way of gardening. Organic Gardening is away of gardening in harmony with nature. Growing a healthy and productive crop in a way that is healthier for both you and the environment.
