Instead of buying expensive soil, I filled this garden bed organically with stuff I had lying around! Here’s the free recipe: 🟫 Cardboard — weed blocker + worm buffet 🌿 Old sticks — drainage + spongey structure (the older, the better) 🍂 Dried leaves — quick compost, full of microbes 🌱 Aged compost — about 6 inches of plant fuel 🌍 Native topsoil — so my plants get a taste of the neighborhood 😉 Bonus: I dug a hole next to the bed and dropped in my cold compost bin, now worms can crawl right in and feast! No bags. No budget. Just backyard scraps and a little soil magic. #gardening #organicgardening #compost #garden #raisedbedgarden #growyourownfood #urbangardening #homegarden #gardenhacks #sustainablegardening #diygarden #soil
