My huskies dig in the pile, my chickens add droppings, and my horses contribute manure. These holistic compost uses from 15 years of sustainable gardening keep my soil alive—here’s five ways to use it in winter, farm girl style!

Spread compost—[shovel] layers it. My ducks love the worms; 15 years taught me it protects roots.

Top beds—[garden fork] blends it. My minis trampled my first pile; years taught me early application.
Use 4: Feed Cover Crops
Sprinkle on clover—[cover crop seeds] thrive. My chickens scratched sparse crops; 15 years proved compost boosts.
