Thanks, James. We have a compost pile over the hill in the back, but I’ve been considering a tumbler. I recently saw where you can use shredded paper to add to the tumbler. That seems like a good way to recycle all that junk mail.

One of the biggest time-savers I’ve found is switching to a raised bed setup — instead of fighting your native soil every season, you’re working with a clean slate of good mix that just performs. A good raised garden bed kit for the backyard takes away the building headache too, which is a shortcut in itself. I’d also add succession planting to your list — staggering sow dates by two weeks means you’re always harvesting something instead of a glut all at once. Thanks for the compost tip too, I’ve started using a tumbler and it really does speed things up dramatically.

Thank you, Jessica! It sure makes it easy to make a striking display quickly, doesn’t it?

Placing it on the backyard walkway has been really nice.
