Photos have captions, but this year I'm trying to add a lot more garden "waste" in the compost, including weeds and all the soil that gets entrained in the roots.

Hopefully I'll get enough compost to top up the beds in the fall.

My mom used to collect the weeds and collect them in a barrel of water then use it as fertilizer, I suppose it is a kind of wet compost

Yes! You can ferment the weeds. I tried that once and forgot about it and it was quite a disaster with the built up gas. Maybe I'll try again and put it somewhere I actually see it ๐Ÿ˜”
