No, it generally is not considered a good idea to plant immediately after composting the garden. The National Gardening Association lists the month before the planting season as preferred times for composting gardens. That means, for North America, a late August or early September composting for mid-September to April cool growing season plantings and a late January or early February composting for mid-February to March warm growing season plantings.

To see what your plants are, right after you plant them, like if it's a rox plant or not, then right after you plant them, go to the seed cart or super seeds. You don't need to buy anything. Then, click "go back to garden". You see if it is a rox plant or not, and that it has grown.

Is Rolly polly is good insect or bad insect?

They eat tender veggies in my garden and they hide in shady/moist compost heaps or under bricks, any where for shade. I consider them bad even though they do help w/ creating compost soil as you add plant scrapes onto your compost pile. I have to use those camping/cooking fire torch to turn them. I first water my garden, wait a minute or 2, then I lift my mulch around the veggie bed and I'd see groups of them & I burn them. Be careful not to burn your feet, and have the garden hose right next to you just in case some dry leaves or whatever starts to burn a little. (That's why I water down everything so nothing catches on fire.)


You have white maggots in your compost. Is that bad?

Those white maggots are fly larva (fly babies) and they will turn into flies. Chances are, once they are grown, they will mate and die right there in the compost heap. And have more maggots. So if you like the idea of flies living in your garden, no it's not a bad thing. If not, well....

How often do you harvest compost piles?

In a worm box composting system, you do not change the bedding. You let the worms eat it. Bedding is typically a high carbon substrate such as damp newspaper or coconut husk.You put food in the box and cover it with the damp bedding. If it stinks, or gets to wet or is overcome by gnats you may want to sift out the worms and start over.Perhaps every 6 months you should divide out your worms, sift out the worm castings/poop (dark black fertilizer) and restart the system. DO NOT ADD BANANA PEELS to your worm bin. They always have flies in them which will contaminate your box and make it nasty. You may also want to avoid orange and apple peels.In the garden turn you compost into the garden at least once a year. Hint- grow tomatoes right next to your compost bin! RA, "the compost Guru"
