  • Why Your Compost Heap Isn't Heating Up: Expert Tips
    Lindsey explains that a lack of greens, improper moisture levels, or a small pile size can prevent heating. To resolve, balance greens and browns, adjust moisture, and increase pile size. Winter cold can also halt decomposition; cover or use bins. For persistent issues, add finished compost or activators.
  • Hydroponic Success: Top Vegetables to Grow at Home
    Lindsey suggests tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, broccoli, and cabbage as easy hydroponic choices. She advises, “Do not let any light into the water tubs.” Essential tools include a pH and EC meter. Herbs also thrive hydroponically. Avoid root vegetables like carrots unless experienced. Start with half the recommended nutrients and gradually increase.
  • Coffee Grounds: A Natural Deterrent for Garden Pests
    Lindsey shares that coffee grounds can deter slugs due to residual caffeine. To use, form a 1-2" thick ring around plants, reapplying after rain. Other natural repellents include eggshells and diatomaceous earth. "Coffee grounds also benefit compost and deter cats," Lindsey adds. Use sparingly to avoid soil acidity or mold.
