Yeah...patience, please. I'm in the process of republishing a brand new site for Erica's Garden. I decided to start with a pre-filled template so I could capture all the goodies it had to offer. So, for awhile, you'll see a lot of articles and remnants of the demo site intermixed with gardening content. Please be paitent with me as it develops into the new site. Who knows, this may take quite a few iterations to get it just right.
Keep your composter happy by feeding it the right food. For general composting, stay away from meats, bones, fish scraps, perennial weeds (the seeds may resprout), or diseased plants. Be cautious about manures if your compost will be used for amending food gardening soil. Also be aware that many non-organic vegetable and fruit peelings may contain pesticide residue and should be kept out of compost.
Finally, different wastes will compost at different rates. Chop up larger, tougher materials for quicker composting rates. As with your own eating habits, pay attention to what you are feeding your composter to enjoy the best results.
This site honors Erica Marie Daniel Kepner, PhD, who lived her life with an almost obsessive passion and dedication. She lost her fight with Cancer at a young 26 years old, but left her legacy to all who knew her.

There's a wealth of information out there along with a huge number of talented people that can write about it. If you would like to contribute an article or images, or whatever to the site, please let me know. Or, if don't care to write but have a novel idea that would make for a good article on the site, please let me know - I can take it from there.
