The Velveteen Bean Composting Method

(link to free, detailed instructions here)

✨Stop buying dead dirt. Start making living soil.

The real magic isn’t just compost; it’s the local microbes, the invisible ecosystem builders that keep soil, plants, and people in tune with the place you live. You can’t buy that from a bag.

Most city and suburban piles stall out: too small, too smelly, too tempting for rodents. The Velveteen Bean Method was born from that frustration. By utilizing waste streams already present everywhere, such as used café coffee grounds, rescue rabbit bedding, and your own pre-fermented scraps, you can create piles that heat up, break down, and stay alive. Every handful should pulse with local life.

Not shipped. Not bagged. Alive, right where you live.
