Today, I turned the content upside down by putting it into another bag. I’m pleased to find that the bottom half is composted into rich soil! 🤗

Maybe I’m onto an easy composting method using two soil bags (or I was lucky this time).

I do have a small rotating composter in my community garden plot, but the space is so limited. I experimentally used a garden soil bag, and it seemed have worked.

If they're not too full I can turn the pile by rolling them on their sides.

Comfrey is a wonderful perennial plant for easy soil amendments. Comfrey collects and shares multivitamins for the soil biology, chop and drop, extractions and more. , , ,

Bees and other pollinators love the flowers. It makes great compost. And it has allantoin, which has healing property—just like aloe. I serendipitously discovered, when comfrey sap is applied to mosquito bites, it quickly soothes the itchy skin. You can also eat the emerging small plants, cooked like spinach, but only in small amount.*
