Growing My Own Potting Soil

     I've been growing my own potting soil here at Merlin's Garden. . I burn most of my bills and other mail which may or may not contain sensitive info hackers can use to get my money along with scraps I trim from bushes and bits & pieces from my wood working projects. To these I add my home grown scraps such as egg shells, veggie scraps and such. The main ingredients are dirt from my digging projects, dead potted plants my neighbors throw away and coffee grounds form work.

     All you need to start your own compost project is 3 buckets. Add coffee grounds, tea bags, crushed egg shells, dead flowers & such. Then dump from one bucket to the other daily, keeping 1 bucket empty.
     Before you know it, you'll have a bucket full of 100% home grown potting soil better than any store bought! Poke a few holes about 1" above the bottom of 1 bucket, add some seeds and you have your own container garden, perfect for tomatoes, eggplant or whatever makes you happiest.
