I'm Aparna. I've been growing food in Stuttgart for six years — in raised beds, containers, and on a balcony — and the single biggest shift in my results came from stopping the fight against the soil and starting to work with it instead. In-bed composting was a big part of that. I wrote this guide so you can skip the trial and error I went through.
