Very cute!
My toddler’s favorite backyard activity? Picking raspberries!
It’s heartwarming to see my kids enjoying our garden as much as I love using our compost to grow these healthy, delicious plants. 🌱💚​ #kidsinthegarden #raspberrypicking

That's funny!
I’ve lost count of how many times a day I scoop up food dropped by my kids 😅.​ Most of it—including this banana peel—gets a second life in my compost! 🍌🌱​

Scroll back a few posts and you’ll see when I set up my 2nd vermicomposting bin—newspaper bedding, lettuce, worms, scraps. Looked perfect! But… I made a mistake. And it cost me. 😞🪱 Here’s my confession.

If you're tossing your dog’s poop straight in the trash, you're missing a composting win 🐶💩 I add waste from our two dogs to the compost tumbler—right along with garden scraps. Less landfill waste, more rich compost for the garden 🌱

Check it out!

Time to reload the Reencle! 🍌🥬🍕

I’m adding a fresh batch of food scraps—leaving about 1/3 of the old mix to keep those hard-working microbes going strong. This time it’s ~1.5 kg/3.3 lbs.

Let’s see how it goes!

A few weeks ago, this red rose bush was drying out and struggling. I gave it some compost and mulch—and just like that, it bounced back to life. 🌹Compost never fails to amaze me. #redroses #compostingmagic #plantingwithcompost

Where on earth have they gone? 🤔🪱
They’re tough to spot, but the worms have been busy—just look at those healthy compost layers! Hoping a few more show up next time so I can thank them personally.

Say hello to the newest addition to my mini orchard! 🍐 I planted this pear tree with nutrient-rich compost and a layer of mulch to help it thrive. With some love + care, we’ll have blossoms soon—and fruit in a few years. #peartree #plantingtrees #gardeningwithcompost

One thing I love about using the Reencle this year: no more waiting weeks for compost! This week I planted a new tree, and when I opened the Reencle, it was full of rich, ready-to-use compost—perfect for giving this plant a great start. 🌱🌳
Take a look : 👇

Golden rule of composting: don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. I turn my tumblers, but I also break up stubborn chunks by hand and give the mix a good stir. It speeds things up—and helps me know when it’s ready. #Compost #compostingtips

Rainy days = happy plants 🌧️ Watching them soak it all in, the pond fill up, and the whole garden get a free watering. Downside? Four kids stuck inside looking for entertainment 😅
🎥 Here’s a peek at the garden in the rain.

Letting nature do its thing 🌾 This patch stays wild—tall grass, wildflowers, and zero lawnmowing. A small change, but a big help for pollinators and beneficial insects (plus, they stay away from my veggies!). #wildgarden #gowild #letitgrow #nolawnmowing

Lots of gardening = lots of plant scraps! 🌿 I started using a crate in the garden to collect weeds, leaves & volunteer plants. Once dry, they go in the compost. If the bins are full, they break down right in the crate! 🎥 Watch the setup in action!

Mixing is key, but so is moisture. 💧 To keep your compost breaking down efficiently, water your tumbler mix when it looks dry—especially in hot weather.
Aim for moist, not soaked. Your compost will thank you.

Since adding worms to my composting process, “worm hunting” has become a favorite activity with my kids. 🪱 Grace and I had a blast digging through one of our bins—curious, messy, and fun! #wormhunting #vermicomposting #worms #compostingwithkids

Starting a fresh compost batch in my tumbler and thought I’d share my process! 🍃 It begins in the kitchen—scraps go to a bin, then a pre-compost container. After a few weeks, they head into the tumbler with garden waste + Reencle mix for a microbe boost. Then… tumble time! 😄 #compostingtip

I have four kids, but compost is what really taught me patience. Even with a tumbler, it can take up to 8 weeks—but that rich, earthy mix is worth it. Check out my finished compost, ready to nourish some new trees! 🌳💚 #composting #gardeningwithcompost #thedailycompost

It might look like moldy leftovers to us, but to the hundreds of worms in my compost bin, it’s a five-star feast! 🪱🍴 I’m excited to see how fast they break it down—stay tuned for updates! #vermicomposting #worms #compostlife #foodscraps

These sunflowers weren’t part of the plan—but I’m glad they showed up! 🌻 Volunteer plants, like these surprise blooms, often grow from wind- or bird-dropped seeds. They’re free, cheerful, and hard to resist... even if they try to take over the garden! 😂💚 #volunteerplants #sunflowers

My daughter Grace loves digging for worms in our compost bins 🪱—no surprise, they thrive in that rich, healthy soil.
This time, we brought a few to the pond for some fishing fun 🎣
She was so proud of her catch (don’t worry, we released it!)

Worm composter #2 has arrived! 🪱 The first was such a hit, I had to get another. My toddler helped unpack it—she’s (almost) as excited as I am. Can’t wait to see how the new bin performs! Curious how it all went? Watch the video + follow for more wormy updates! #worms #vermicomposting

Just set up my second worm composter 🪱🪱
This one was trickier—had to transfer worms and half-decomposed material into a bigger bin with a new layout.
Took some patience, but totally worth it 🙌🏼
🎥 Watch the full setup!

Gave my compost tumbler a spin today—literally. 💪😅 Here’s a peek inside before and after 30 seconds of rotating. Still a long way to go, but it’s already breaking down more easily. I’ll keep tumbling weekly and sharing updates! 🌱

It's that time of year when all that hard work in the garden truly pays off. 💚 This beautiful lilac English lavender is now in full bloom, filling the air with its lovely scent — the bees and I can't get enough of it!​
