The O~Grow Planter box
HOW DO WE HELP THE EARTH RESTORE ITSELF?
Composting is the process of decomposing and breaking down organic matter. This process is beneficial to the Earth because offers a steady release of nutrients that only come from living matter. For growing food, composting is the fuel for the soil vehicle the plants use to grow in. Composting is the best way to recycle organic matter (which usually doesn't get recycled) into an essential soil ingredient, reduces your waste footprint, creates a closed loop of sustainability (from table to compost to garden to table), and discourages pests while encouraging microbial life in the soil. A great way to get started growing your own food, and getting out of the GMO loop is with our O~Grow boxes, and seed kits
We've hand crafted planter boxes of all shapes and sizes, and will custom build them as well

WHATS NEW WITH THE UNCOOKED CREW?
Compost like a BOSS
The ideal compost temperate is 140 degrees Fahrenheit and this temperature should be maintained for at least 3 days in order to do away with any undesirables (pathogens, garden weeds, etc.). Once a day, the compost should be turned or flipped. This makes microbe food more available, aerates the pile, all while keeping the compost pile hot. The best way to monitor the temperature is with a compost thermometer but it’s not necessary.
