Takeaways:

Starting a flower farm requires planning and learning about different crops and growing seasons.

Composting is an important practice for flower farmers to recycle organic waste and improve soil health.

Creating compost piles involves balancing carbon-rich materials (such as leaves and straw) with nitrogen-rich materials (such as vegetable scraps and manure).

Composting can be done in various ways, including using compost tumblers, chicken wire enclosures, or vermicomposting systems.

Starting composting is simple and can be done with basic materials and a good understanding of the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio.
