It works really well for anyone needing extra help with groceries.

If you want to add new scraps soon, make a hole in an adjacent area and repeat, after a while you can go back to the 1st area. You may be surprised how the soil microflora and -fauna changed and how many earthworms have been born. This way, I have turned a construction 'soil' 'landscape' into real living soil :-) Hi Carla,

The first two times were ultimate disasters despite the instructions and websites I read. I think I probably should just give my scraps away to someone who know what they are doing!
