My First Compost

Hello everyone!

I’m going to make my first compost to get it to fertilizer. My plan is to get some worms and put them in there. My hope is that they breed and become a self-sustaining environment so that I can feed my future axolotl baby earth worms. I’ll keep y’all updated on how it goes :)📍Location:Rexburg, ID

Two woven baskets, one filled with blueberries, and a wooden scoop with more berries, are nestled among blueberry bushes. An open notebook and loose papers suggest journaling or recording observations of nature and folk traditions.

Wooden shelves are filled with numerous glass bottles and jars of various sizes, many containing herbs, plants, or liquids. This image evokes an apothecary or herbalist's collection, aligning with folk craft and natural remedies.
