How much sun do they need? I'm intrigued by those "potato bags" that Gardener's Supply sells, where you mound up dirt over the season, which don't need much space.

What I do is fill up my wheelbarrow with sticks and weeds and then leave it out in the rain for a few months. When I finally dump it out into a nasty ass pile of stink, I congratulate myself on being such a good steward of the soil. I make compost tea all the time.

I wanted to make a special magical potion. Turns out that the most likely scenario is that the magical potion wouldn't have done a damn thing except give someone a case of the runs.

Works great and is very easy. I like easy gardening methods. Never had any bacteria problems or worries. Eat directly from the garden all the time.
