Today we’ll take what you learned from the Episode 2, Introduction to Composting, and go a step further by discussing different composting methods, composting set ups and costs, and we’ll even talk pros and cons of using earthworms for composting.
With 12 growing months in the Texas gulf coast, our gardening chores are really piling up! But, our plants still need regular installments of compost. Compost supports healthy roots, increases disease & pest  resistance, improves soil texture, and increases beneficial bacteria and fungi in the soil. 
The question is, can we work smarter and not harder by building in our composting technique during our bed preparation? The answer is YES! I'll teach you 2 different composting methods, Hügelkultur and Lasagna gardening, which are 1 time bed prep methods that last for years before additional work is required to re-freshen! 
For a visual aid to understanding Hügelkultur, check out my companion YouTube episode!
