Phone ahead to be sure it’s available in that size. 1/3 Blended Compost—If you don’t have your own compost operation, then buy bags of compost at the garden center to get started. Then, start your own compost pile as soon as possible. I’ll explain some simple steps for foolproof composting later in the book. However, one word of caution here: You must have a blended compost, so don’t buy all the same kind. Pick out one bag of this and one bag of that. But, more about that in Chapter 5.”",
