May 28, 2017Q.coco fiber planter liners
I have just replaced the coco fiber liners in my planters. Are the old liners compostable? (We live in a city where our kitchen and yard waste is picked up to be used by a commercial composting company).
- Answered by

May 28, 2017A.Most companies advertise the coco fiber liners as bio degradable, but it is unclear if they are compostable.
I was unable to find an exact answer, though I did see some reports of gardener shredding them and placing them in the compost.

San Gabriel Valley, Calif, 91780Q.Compost or much or both?
The soil in my plant area around the outside of my house is very try and lacks nutrients. (I live in Southern California) In fact it dries out very fast even after watering. I am kind of confused about whether to use compost or mulch to improve the soil. Should I first mix compost into the soil and then layer the soil with mulch? We are restricted to watering twice a week so really need help to keep it moist. Thanks for any information. Dale Miller Temple City, Calif MillerIce3@aol.com

June 10, 2017A.Add both. When you water, add water slow and longer. The mulch will help keep the moisture in check til the next time you water.

June 16, 2017A.If you do have moles or other rodents that are a problem in your garden, you may want to choose another method of composting, such as a compost bin.
You can give it try though and if you have issues, then make a change.
