his directions pretty closely and have ended up with an organic garden.

[ I have watched all of Mel's videos repeatedly and with each planting he
always adds a "handful" of commercial fertilizer.]

>As to the blender method--real compost connoisseurs recommend this
step,but it seems a lot to go through for the ol' compost pile.  I just
try
to layer mine with some green/wet and brown/dry stuff, water it once in
a while, and turn it seldom.   I end up with pretty good compost in about
3 months.

[ I compost on a "yearly" cycle. I never get around to turning the pile.
I just alternate layers (as described above) and keep it damp. If you
have enough space it works just fine.]
