This "compost" is actually made from the yard debris collection from City of Portland. It's also going to amend my clay soil in the new beds as I plant.

A nice compost layer has fostered a bumper crop of centipedes that have brought the vine weevil larvae under control. <br />dramagardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340851671861409820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-91323235421942460332016-03-24T01:46:44.594-07:002016-03-24T01:46:44.594-07:00That look is divine.
