Making dirt.

[earlofgrey]

I built my first compost heap when I moved into this house, and so far I've learned the following: compost smells good. It smells really good, like onions, mulling spices, fermenting fruit, squash, earth, and tea. Were there no meaningful environmental benefits to doing this, I would continue as a purely aesthetic experiment.

You put tea in a compost? I don't know much about the tea plants suitability as organic compost matter but somethings makes me skeptical. Potatoes and squash are even more of a no. But I haven't re-searched really!

I was thinking about the stem. The nightshade family is poisonous.
