You got a good answer from Aurora Farm and I go along with all they
said. Getting going in manageable steps is important, or you will break
your heart and create a weed patch. Compost and mulch are the main tools

Hi Woody:
Yes, it's preferable to make the compost outside,
incorporatingother material,and in shaped mounds. I guess i didn't
