Cold Composting via Rotation Trenching

January 28th, 2008

What is Rotation Trenching?

Rotation trenching, often used by British gardeners, is a simple three-year rotation of crop, composting trench, and path. Instead of burying compost material in separate holes as done in postholing, rotation trenching involves digging a long pit (usually between rows in a garden) to do your cold composting via soil incorporation.
