| Spring can be somewhat elusive when it comes to the timing of its signals of the weather changing. We so want it to fit the dates of our calendars, but it has its own operating system and it flags the changes according to the reality on the ground not the arithmetic reality of a calendar.

Costa Georgiadis:
The key to creating good compost is to think like a microbe, Costa says; like us, they need air, water and food. Get that right, and the local microorganisms and insects will soon transform your kitchen and garden waste into rich, healthy, sweet-smelling compost. A handful of compost can contain a billion microorganisms. |
