My guess would be she probably is already doing something, even if it is only adding some yard waste to the center.
Having a compost pile in the center of a mat or a group of plants works great, feeds and maintains a proper moisture level all at the same time.
I can see that method working in a more tropical area but where Mark lives it gets too cold and wet to compost and could end up turning into black slime.
