I too have a compost container kept in the kitchen for coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit trimmings, etc. It gets emptied into my composting barrel once a week or so. That black plastic barrel heats up pretty well in the Kansas sun even in winter and does a good job of reducing the contents. I add in yard clippings from another container periodically to maintain a good "brown to green" contents ratio. In the spring, the barrel gets emptied on to the garden and turned in to the soil.

Those look great!
I think you should dress the ducks up like little farmers. Oh! Little straw hats!

Have a great day! 💋

very cool!! I share your enthusiasm for organic greens! My backyard is covered in arugula and miner's lettuce. I grow strawberries and the property has orange, plum, and apricot trees.

I don't have ducks though.

Where on earth are all those Muscovoy ducks coming from?
I love ducks, but not so much when it comes to Muscovoy ones... though they are very tasty. The meat goes well with greens, like the mizuna.

Speaking of which, I also grow mizuna, but not the purple one. I should get seeds. It's great in salads, mixed in with stir fries, etc. LOVE it! It's also ornamental, though it bolts easily in warm weather.

New Zealand spinach: Each plant spreads out quite a bit, and it can have a slightly gritty texture. I'll take chard, spinach, mizuna, or many other greens over that, though the NZ spinach can handle more heat.

Compost: my compost area is a semi-caged heap, not a fancy bin. Veggie/fruit trimmings, eggshells, egg cartons/cardboard drink carriers, etc. go in there, as do various piles of leaves. Barrels and barrels of oak leaves get used for mulch on camellias or in flower/veggie beds. Only the overflow of the oak leaves makes it into the compost pile. Spare coffee grounds from Starbucks get used in pots of fruit trees, roses, camellias, azaleas, etc. or in flower/veggie beds. Blueberries love coffee grounds and oak leaf mulch -- acidity and loamy compost make them happy.

This last couple weeks we got anti-heat-- several nights of dreaded frost. That's fine and dandy for stone fruits, but the plumerias, tomatoes, and papayas, and a few tender succulents, are very unhappy. Hope I don't lose the young, potted papaya plants. I cringe when I read posts by other bloggers digging out of inches or feet of snow, though I know you're probably used to it, and you adapt your gardening accordingly. Bet you can grow a killer crop of cherries and high-chill fruits! I'm in Mediterranean/subtropical (and getting hotter and drier by the year) So. California. Ever watch the Rose Parade? it ends less than 5 miles from my house. Every New Year's morning about 8:05am I walk out onto my driveway, next to the passionfruits, dragonfruits, etc., look up into the sky, and wave to the pilot of the B2 Stealth bomber as it flies directly overhead.

Tomorrow is the first of several fruit tree scion exchanges held by various chapters of the California Rare Fruit Growers, so I need to get up early in the morning, cut and label scions, and head out to the Inland Empire to swap small sticks with other crazy folks who graft stuff onto their fruit trees.

EnigmaInitiative -- I keep meaning to send you pix of the passionfruits. A few green fruits are still hanging on the vines.

They must be Florida redneck ducks! Love your tour of the garden.

Funny women are incredibly sexy!

The mizuna purple plants are so pretty!
I dump my debris here there and where ever. It gets covered eventually.

Good, if something bad is happening in Europe, I try to escape to Orlando.

For sure, you need someone for eating all these plants with you, I will take care of the ducks

Looks like that black thumb is turning green. xxoo

Egg shells, coffe grounds and other natural food byproducts we don't eat ( banana peels, corn cobs) also make great compost material.

Also, on top of compost, anytime you boil things don't dump the water out...let it cool off and use it to water the garden. I keep a gallon water bottle by the stove to put hot water in and let it cool. Boiling eggs...save that water and use it to water the garden...all plants like calcium but apples, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cherries, citrus, conifers, cotton, curcurbits, melons, grapes, legumes, lettuce, peaches, peanuts, pears, peppers, potatoes, tobacco, and tomatoes are supposed to be especially responsive. Boiling corn on the cob...it has potassium, calcium and vitamins B2, C and K, among others so would be particularly good for veggies needing those particular minerals...as long as you don't salt the water 1st.

I've looked into those tumblers, a wee bit outside my price range for now.

The compost in place seems to work out well.

*****

Mine was a gift from my son, so I don't know what is cost exactly but suspect it was TOO huge. It's a tumbler kind, maybe 40 to 50 gallon capacity (?).

The ducks may be a pain, but I expect they are quite fun too!
