     i worm compost everything organic that comes through here.   
   it's my sole source of extra nutrients but since i only need   
   so much for the heaviest feeding plants it works out fine.   
      
     i used to harvest green manure from some alfalfa and   
   birdsfoot trefoil but i've mostly had that patch taken over   
   by grasses and other weeds so i don't cut that back any   
   longer - it gets regularly mowed instead.  i'm hoping   
   this year to turn more of it back into garden space.
