COMPOSTING KNOWLEDGE

COMPOSTING TIPS FOR FALL: TURN LEAVES INTO GARDENING GOLD

As fall sets in and the trees start to shed their leaves, it’s also the perfect
time for composting. If you’re an outdoor lover or green thumb, you will know
this is the best time to start enriching  your garden soil for the coming year.
Let’s delve into some composting tactics that will help you make the most of the
autumn season. Embrace Your Autumn Leaves Don’t start raking those beautiful
autumn leaves from your yard into piles just yet - they’re a composting
goldmine! You might want to consider adding them to your compost bin. Shredded
leaves are ideal as they break down faster, providing a perfect carbon source to
balance nitrogen-rich waste like kitchen scraps. Use a lawn mower with a bag
attached to shred your leaves quickly and conveniently. This will give you a
nice mulch that’s easy to add to your compost pile. Kitchen Scraps are Garden
Gold The autumn season means lots of cooking and hearty homemade meals. Don’t
throw away your kitchen scraps though - especially fruit or vegetable peels, and
coffee grounds. These nitrogen-rich materials are great additions to boost your
compost. Remember to avoid adding dairy, meat or oils, as they will attract
wildlife and pests. Balance is Crucial  If you’re a green thumb, you will know
that a successful compost requires a good balance of "greens" (nitrogen-rich
sources) and "browns" (carbon sources). When you add in your autumn leaves, also
mix in some kitchen scraps and other greens. The ideal ratio is about 2:1 browns
to greens. Example: For every two bags of leaves, toss in a bin of kitchen
scraps. This balance will encourage healthy decomposition.   Moist but Not Soggy
Fall can be a tricky season for maintaining the right moisture level for your
compost pile. Decomposition slows down if your pile is too dry; while you risk
creating a smelly mess if it’s too wet. A rule of thumb is to aim for the
moisture level of a damp sponge. If the pile gets too dry, add some water; and
you can mix in more browns if it’s too moist. Add in Some Manure Animal manure
is another fantastic option for enriching your compost if you have access to it.
It’s nitrogen-rich and helps speed up decomposition for better composting. Just
remember to use composted manure; as fresh manure can be too strong and may
damage your plants. Tip: If you're close to a farm or areas with livestock, ask
the owners if you can take some off their hands.  Add Some Microbes
Microorganisms are often neglected, but they are really the superheroes of
composting. They break down organic matter fast, turning it into nutrient-rich
fertilizer for your plants. You can also add microbe-rich materials like worm
castings, or even some soil from your garden to give your compost pile an extra
kick.  Turn It Up During the composting process, it is essential to turn your
compost pile to aerate it and speed up decomposition. Autumn is the perfect time
to get your hands dirty and take composting to the next level! Use a shovel to
turn the pile every few weeks. This will bring more oxygen, which is crucial to
allow the microbes to break down your pile.  Consider a Worm Bin If you have
limited space or want to speed up your composting even more, consider using a
worm bin. Worms love kitchen scraps and can help turn the waste into
nutrient-rich vermicompost. They’re relatively easy to manage, and are perfect
for fall when outdoor composting slows down.  All in all, fall is a great time
for composting and to turn your waste into gold for your garden. By utilizing
fallen leaves, kitchen scraps, and even manure, you can create a rich compost
that will nourish your plants for months. Start composting today - your garden
will thank you for it!

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SECONDARY COMPOSTING: USING VEGO MEAL FOR A THRIVING
GARDEN

Composting is a gardener's secret weapon for creating nutrient-rich soil that
promotes healthy plant growth. But did you know there's more than one way to use
compost? Secondary composting is a technique that involves taking compost that
is almost—but not quite—finished and using it to improve your garden in various
ways. Here, we'll dive into secondary composting and how Vego Meal, the output
from the Vego Kitchen Composter, can be a game-changer for your garden. We'll
explore how different Vego Composter modes—Vego Mode, Fertilize, and Express—can
serve different secondary composting needs. What Is Secondary Composting?
Secondary composting, in this case, is the process of taking partially finished
compost and applying it to another environment to "finish" or utilize the
compost.   Using Vego Meal in Secondary Composting The Vego composter's output,
known as Vego Meal, can be used in various secondary composting applications
depending on the mode used. Let's break down the modes and how they fit into
your secondary composting strategy. Vego Mode: Ready for the Garden The Vego
Mode output is the most refined and closest to a finished compost product. It's
rich in nutrients, high quality organic matter, and beneficial microbes, making
it perfect for direct use in the garden. Because it's nearly finished compost,
it's less likely to draw nitrogen away from your plants, allowing you to use it
immediately. Direct Application: Simply sprinkle Vego Mode output around your
plants or mix it into the top few inches of your soil. This method boosts soil
fertility, encourages healthy root development, and improves water retention.
Top-Dressing: Use it as a mulch layer around your garden beds. This adds high
quality organic matter and nutrients to the soil as it continues to break down.
Fertilize Mode: The Compost Activator The Fertilize Mode Vego Meal is ideal for
jump-starting new compost piles or revitalizing older, sluggish piles. It
contains a high concentration of active microbes that can kickstart the
decomposition process. New Compost Piles: If you have a new compost pile with
lots of fresh material, such as yard waste or kitchen scraps, add the Fertilize
Mode Vego Meal to get things moving. The active microbes will accelerate the
breakdown of organic matter, helping you achieve finished compost faster. Older
Piles: For compost piles that have slowed down but aren't quite done, adding
Fertilize Mode Vego Meal acts as a "finisher." It reintroduces essential
microbes to speed up the final stages of decomposition, ensuring a rich and
well-balanced compost product. Grass Mode: Feeding Your Lawn Applying Vego Meal
directly to your lawn, particularly in the Fertilize Mode, is an excellent way
to contribute organic matter and microbial life to your grass. This not only
nourishes the lawn but also improves soil structure over time. Grass Clippings:
When using a mulching lawn mower, grass clippings are returned to the soil. By
adding Vego Meal, you introduce microbes that help convert these clippings into
humus—a stable, nutrient-rich form of organic matter. This process, similar to
the well known lasagna layering method, replenishes soil organic matter levels,
leading to a healthier, more vibrant lawn. Organic Matter Contribution: Even if
your mower bags the clippings, applying Vego Meal directly to the lawn adds
organic matter back into the soil. This ongoing cycle of adding and breaking
down organic matter helps maintain a balanced and thriving lawn ecosystem.
Express Mode: Balancing Carbon-Heavy Compost The Express Mode Vego Meal is
particularly useful for piles that are too carbon-heavy, like those with
excessive yard waste or dried leaves. Balancing Act: In compost piles that are
more than 80% carbon-rich materials, adding up to 20% Express Mode Vego Meal
helps balance the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, a crucial factor for effective
composting. This balance ensures that the pile decomposes efficiently, resulting
in high-quality compost. Garden Bed Renewal: At the end of the growing season,
when you’ve pulled out old crops and don’t plan to plant for another 4-8 weeks,
use Express Mode output to renew your garden beds. This process is similar to
sheet composting. Spread a layer of Vego Meal over the bed, let it sit and
decompose, and then fork it into the soil. This enriches the soil, replenishing
lost nutrients and organic matter. Secondary Composting with Vego Meal: A
Tailored Approach The versatility of Vego Meal makes it an essential tool for
any gardener aiming to optimize their soil health and garden productivity.
Whether you’re looking to add nutrients directly to your garden, activate a new
compost pile, enrich your lawn, or balance a carbon-heavy compost mix, The Vego
Kitchen Composter has a mode to meet your needs. By incorporating secondary
composting practices into your daily routine, you ensure a continuous cycle of
soil enrichment that leads to healthier plants, better yields, a more vibrant
garden, and a smaller footprint.   Final Thoughts Secondary composting with Vego
Meal is an eco-friendly and efficient way to recycle nutrients back into your
garden. By understanding how to use the different modes of the Vego composter,
you can create a tailor-made composting strategy that supports your garden's
unique needs. So, give your soil—and your plants—the boost they deserve with
Vego Meal and see the difference it makes in your garden's health and vitality.

COMPOSTING FOR A GREENER FUTURE

As an advocate for better gardening and sustainable practices, I have been
working towards more eco-friendly ways to grow and harvest over the years. With
composting at the heart of my gardening journey, I would like to share some of
my insights on the importance of composting, and how this natural method can
help reduce environmental impact. A Pressing Issue for Our Environment  Did you
know that about one-third of all food produced globally goes to waste? That
amounts to 1.3 billion tons each year! When food waste ends up in landfills, it
decomposes anaerobically and produces methane—a greenhouse gas 25 times more
potent than CO2. In fact, food waste contributes to around 6% of global
greenhouse gas emissions - for every 1 kg of food waste, just over 2.5kg of CO2
is emitted. By composting, we can minimize the amount of food wasted and its
impact significantly, while nourishing our gardens too.  Food waste is a
pressing issue globally, contributing to around 6% of total global greenhouse
gas emissions that have a staggering impact on our climate and the environment. 
Composting for the Greater Good I'm a big believer in the benefits of
composting. By converting food scraps from our kitchens and turning them into
nutrient-rich amendments for our gardens, we can also reduce our carbon
footprint. After trying several electronic home composters, the Vego Kitchen
Composter is one that truly stands out - making composting incredibly easy and
efficient, via its low temperature processing and an intelligent weighing
system. It is estimated that between 8 to 11 percent of all greenhouse gas
emissions from the food system could be reduced, if food waste was effectively
prevented. This composter breaks down your food waste quickly with VegoTab
(their special blend of microbes), without foul odors or bugs. Vego’s
closed-loop system ensures that kitchen waste is shrunk up to 90% to prevent
wastage, transforming it into gardening gold for our soil.  Composting isn't
just beneficial for the planet - it's also great for our gardens. Food scraps
that might otherwise end up in the trash are transformed into nutrient-dense
garden soil, providing essential nutrients for your plants to thrive. I just
love how composting allows me to nourish the vegetables I grow - with kitchen
waste that will otherwise end up in the dumpster. From food scraps, fruit and
veggies, to coffee grounds, the list of compostable items goes on. By following
guidelines on what to compost, you can easily create your own compost pile at
home, for the benefit of both your garden and the environment. A Sustainable Way
of Life  Beyond the environmental benefits, composting is also a wonderful way
to connect with nature. Watching food scraps break down and transform into rich
compost is endlessly fascinating. It's a reminder of the incredible wonders of
nature, and how we can work in harmony and benefit from them.  Composting is
part of a sustainable lifestyle. When you compost, you're not only reducing
kitchen and landfill waste, but also enriching your garden soil for your plants
to thrive. In turn, this reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and
encourages a more healthy ecosystem. Final Thoughts  By composting regularly,
you're actively combating food wastage and its environmental impact. What’s
more, you will be contributing to a sustainable future for our planet—one
compost pile at a time. If you're looking to build a healthier and more vibrant
garden in a more sustainable way - I highly recommend checking out Vego Garden’s
Kitchen Composter. It's an investment that will pay off for years to come - both
for your plants and for the planet.
