Emptied the #reencle about 80% and added the used tissues in our #kitchenscraps bin to absorb moisture. #happycomposting

Looks like pretty good broken down #kitchenscraps! A little bit wet, but emptying my #reencle system and adding the used tissues are going to help reduce moisture in the system. #happycomposting

Ever tried to deepen a pond while it's full of fish?
Well... neither have we.
But my wife and I have a plan. Take a look!

Stale tortilla chips are a great addition for your #compost! Usually your #kitchenscraps bin is quite moist. At least ours is! Adding #stalechips or #stalebread help soak up the extra moisture.

Drinking tea or coffee is a daily routine for most people. Composting the tea or coffee grinds can also become a daily routine. It is in our house!

I made a delicious #chickenbroth after #thanksgiving that my wife straight drank out of a teacup☕! She even asked for seconds😍!!
After making the broth, I strained the scraps and put them in my #kitchenscraps bin. When this bin gets full, I bring it out to my #reencle system

It's time to use the rest of my compost mix to enrich my backyard soil, prepare my garden for next year and make some room in my bin for a new batch of food scraps that will turn into new compost.

I really don’t like throwing food away, but these green beans—bought for our Thanksgiving dinner and never used—didn’t make it. They spoiled… but at least they’ll get a second life feeding my compost bin!

Here I'm handling my compost mix – moving it from my tall bins, where it spent weeks breaking down, to my wheelbarrow and from there, to my garden beds. Prep for next spring starts now! #wintergardening #gardenbed

Another freeze wave will hit Wichita, so I picked most of my tomatoes and brought them inside to ripen in the kitchen. 🍅❄️
The final harvest of the season — so exciting!

I’m so proud of our little pond! The fish we introduced a few months ago have already multiplied and turned into a big, lively school 🐟✨ And since the pond is a bit deep — about 2.5 ft — they’ll be able to make it through Wichita’s winter just fine. ❄️💙

How do you decide which plants should share the same garden bed? 🤔 This year, we tried pairing mint with tomatoes — and here’s what happened...

My raspberry plants are on a mission… and that mission is to take over my entire garden! 😅
It’s amazing to see plants popping up in unexpected corners of my backyard.

I’ve been spending some time on fall cleanup in my garden, and this week I tackled my raspberry plants, a couple of apple trees, and the cantaloupe vine bed.

Remember how my lilies bloomed in the middle of spring this year? Now it’s time for some cleanup, but I’m being careful not to pull out the bulbs, so they can grow back next year. Here’s how I do it:

I spent the day tidying up my garden as fall’s cooler temperatures set in. 🌿🍂 I try to create as little waste as possible, collecting all the dried stems, leaves and roots to feed our compost bins.

We just had a freeze wave here in Wichita and I had to act fast to ensure I can still do one last round of harvesting before the season ends. ❄ 🍅
