Composting: Worm Composting
Worm composting, vermicomposting, with one pound of worms will compost the kitchen scraps of a family of four.
To construct a worm bin, use a plastic container with a loose fitting lid that will allow air in the bin. Fill the bin with a bedding material of shredded newspapers, then add a pint of peat moss or garden soil. Water to moisten the bedding until damp but not wet. Worms need air, moisture, warmth, food and darkness. Add red wiggler worms, not the earthworms found outdoors.
To feed your worms, add only raw fruit and vegetable scraps. Stay away from meats, oils and dairy products. The more vegetable matter the better. Avoid orange rinds and other acidic citrus fruits. Avoid dairy and meat products, because they attract flies to the bin. Drain accumulated water from the bin if necessary to keep worms from drowning. Use water to fertilize plants.
Remove castings and change the bedding monthly by moving bedding to one side of the bin and putting new material in the other side of the bin. The worms will migrate to The new half, leaving the remaining area clear for cleanup.
You can use the worm compost and castings as a soil amendment in the garden, mixed into potting soil, used as a top dressing for plants or made into compost “tea”.

Unlike gardening developed for the cloudy, maritime areas in so much of the western world, Colorado's unique weather opens up a wealth of gardening possibilities. The invigorating climate of mountains and high plains provides abundant sunshine for plant photosynthesis, low humidity that minimizes plant disease, and scant precipitation that helps control the water plants receive.
One of the characteristics of the type of climate Colorado shares with parts of Asia and the mountainous interior of South America is a fantastic diversity of plant species. While it's true that trees don't thrive in these areas, a number of herb-like plants and shrubs do.
Another characteristic of these areas is the creation of a microclimate because of the interplay of sunshine and terrain. A microclimate is a climate of a small area that is different than the climate of the larger area it is in. For example, the climate of an area shaded by a building is a microclimate. Objects can create a climate for plants only feet away from a vastly different climate. This opens a wealth of possibilities to savvy gardeners.
Gardeners are realizing that the potential for growing plants in Colorado is tremendous. Not only are plants native to the West being brought into gardening, adapted plants also are being introduced from the semi-arid areas of Africa, Asia and South America. Many of these plants would rot in wet climates, but thrive in this area's dry air and abundant sunshine.

New Smart Plants for 2015:
Goldhill golden-aster
Tufted grey "scatter rugs" of fuzzy foliage make dense mounds in a sunny garden, clothed all season long (from late winter to fall) with cheerful yellow daisies. This natural hybrid combines the dense habit of its rare parent (H. jonesii) with vigor of the more common H. villosa. 'Goldhill' is apparently sterile so won't seed around like its common parent. Prefers well-drained soil.
