Composting Basics

Another tip when dealing with all those #Autumn leaves is to collect several garbage bags worth of them to save for use as your carbon or "browns" materials to use in your compost pile or bin throughout the summer months when this type of material may be short at hand.

With so many leaves in the yard this time of year, it can be overwhelming to get them all into your compost bin or pile. Start with mulching the leaves down with the mower first before bagging them with the mower. This will greatly reduce the volume of #leaves in your pile.

Now that Halloween is over, don't throw out those old Jack O Lanterns, pumpkins, and gourds... Add them to your compost pile instead and reap the rewards of rich soil come Springtime!
