My compost is ready! Finally after countless months of stirring, adding stuff, stirring some more, and putting it in a bin to sit for the winter, my compost is ready to use!
Mixing my compost with equal part dirt (and a bit of water) I mixed up a perfect compost for seed starting this Spring! Although it isn’t ‘quite’ warm enough for starting seeds yet here in Michigan, I did put the compost into containers to warm up in my tiny greenhouses while I waited for the day I could start my seeds!
This couldn’t have come at a better time. With no one being able to leave the house, a trip to the store to get ‘proper’ dirt seams silly! Especially since I worked so hard to make my OWN!
With only a tiny bit of compost mixed with dirt, I was able to fill up four and a half trays for starting seeds in! That’s plenty for my first batch of transplants!
Sigh.. Warmer days can’t come soon enough.. I spent a good half of the morning counting seeds and trying to make a game plan for my gardens.
Has anyone else in colder climates started their seeds yet? How soon does everyone else start their seeds? Is anyone else thankful for compost this Spring?? Comment below!
As always, smile, stay safe, and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty! 😉

Hope all goes well with your seed starting! 🙂 I can’t wait to see how well my compost starts do VS last year’s that was started with store bought dirt.

I’m in Oklahoma, I started some of my planting in February and have done more this month. I have lots of flowers and vegetables sprouting and growing.

Yay! I’m so jealous you already have your plants in, but it’s always great to hear when someone else has their garden started already! Can’t wait to start planting my own! 🙂

I know, I love seeing everyone’s blogs about their gardens. I have butterfly solar lights and fairy stakes to put with my wildflowers I planted this year, AND I won roses earlier this month that I also can’t wait to see blooming.

Wow, sounds like you’re set for Spring! The lights sound absolutely magical! 😍 Roses are some of my favorite flowers and they make the yard look so pretty! (Plus you can LITERALLY stop and smell the roses!)
