But it's pure gold for your vegetable garden.  It isn't pretty-- it's beautiful!  I have posted on my compost before, What Goes Into My Compost Pile?, here is a glimpse of some of what went into my compost today.  What is it?

• Coffee grinds
• Cucumber skin
• Banana peels

The soil I get is powerful stuff-- at no cost (one of my favorite characteristics of this compost), but some effort.  I effectively turn trash into treasure. 

I bury compost materials every day in the summer and every other day in winter.  I love digging in the compost pit-- it is a nice, rich black and filled with worms doing their job right now.
