A neighbor's compost bin made me ditch the fertilizer aisle
I used to buy those big bags of synthetic fertilizer every spring, maybe $60 a year at the big box store. Then last month, my neighbor across the street let me peek into her three bin setup in Greenville, and she showed me how her tomatoes just exploded after using the compost. She said, 'You're basically feeding the soil, not the plant,' and that stuck with me. I started a small pile with kitchen scraps and leaves in my yard, and I'm curious if anyone here has seen a real difference in their flower beds after switching to homemade compost?
