A few years ago our town began accepting kitchen scraps in the green "yard waste" bin. They have a program that takes all of the yard and kitchen waste and turns it into compost. Then at the end of March, they give each resident two bags of free compost!
So I recently got my two bags and began preparing the soil in the two raised beds. I used this website as my guide this year. The unique tid bit I took away from that article was to let the compost sit in the soil awhile:
...mix the organic material into the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. This should be done several weeks before planting to allow time for it to decompose.
So I will do that and later this month I will begin planting vegetables.
