Some people believe it in only a single way, but there are many depending on your ability and space. Compost in a plastic bin or container using worms seems to be the best. You can look this up online. Using the "lasagna method" also works well. I have heard and used different forms but this is the basic principle. You need Green waste (lawn clippings, vegetable scrapes), Brown waste (leaves, finely broken wood particles) and newspaper start with newspaper on bottom, single to double ply (you can get mewpaper wet but not soaking wet), then add brown waste, then green waste, then newspaper, then brown waste, then green waste, and keep repeating based on the space available. 5 layers should be fine depending on height of layers (I would end with green waste as top layer). If in container drill holes for air flow on all sides of container not on top. This will keep moisture in (rain out) but not allow it to become a soup and also allow for good air flow. Let sit for a few weeks not in direct sunlight and then check on it, may need to fluff a little and then let sit again for a few weeks and keep repeating until it is at desired compost level for your application. If it is in open air outside, no direct sun, follow same method but now check on it about every month until desired compost level. Remember to keep compost moist but not saturated and turn/fluff it to add air flow. This will increase rate. You will know it is working when you can feel the heat it is generating. Pretty amazing process. Hope this helps.
The 'Roma' tomato is not an heirloom. It is however an open pollinated, so it is somewhat like an heirloom, just not old enough to fit the category. 'Roma' is a very good tomato for sauces as is the 'Amish Paste' heirloom tomato. Both of them have very little seed and meaty flesh which is what you want for doing up tomato sauces and salsa.
Compost is great for plants absolutely the best thing! All of the nutrients from the food are absorbed into the compost. Yes! Use it!
The best way to improve soil for gardening is to use compost. Plants need food and it is better to use compost than fertilizer as long as the compost is aged and the right type for the plant. Test your soil and know what you need.
The word 'heirloom' is a noun, a word for a piece of personal property handed down from generation to generation.Example sentence: The watch is an heirloom that belonged to my great grandfather.
Yes. You can use organic compost to grow anything.
Compost can help your plants grow better
For salsa, it is best to use Roma tomatoes because they are meatier and have fewer seeds, making them ideal for a thicker salsa consistency.
According to SouthernLiving.com, big tomatoes are the best to use if you are going to slice this delicious fruit. Beefsteak tomatoes are large and thick, so they can withstand the slicer without any significant squishing.
im not a chef... but i think tomatoes go well with basil and rosemary. hope this helps :)
Many people have a compost heap and use it to help things grow in their gardens.
It's the acid in tomatoes that reacts with aluminum. Highly acidic foods like tomatoes, lemons, etc. will react with aluminum. Best to use stainless steel or enameled cookware with these.
A steel tumbler would work best as you will need to add chemicals to compost these harsh materials.
