Composting is the process of turning garden and kitchen refuse into usable, decomposed material that makes a great soil amendment. Shade gardens can be lush and lively, beckoning a weary gardener to take time out to just enjoy the day and the results of all that hard work. Plush peonies burst into bloom in my garden after a week of warm sun in late spring, a soft cloud of intermingled pinks, reds and whites of various shades. All fall and winter long, while skies are gray and the ground is cold and quiescent, newly planted bulbs can be setting the stage for a colorful extravaganza in your garden the following spring. The basis of successful organic gardening is improving the soil so that it's healthy and alive, because healthy soil grows healthy plants that resist diseases and even insects.
