Composting

When the leaves begin to fall will you bag them and have them hauled to the landfill? Then will you buy compost or topsoil to add to garden beds? Why not use those leaves yourself and make your own compost? There are many methods to compost. See if there are one or more ways that will work for you. Compost provides many benefits to the soil. Compost is fantastic for soil improvement - adding organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms to your soil. Additionally compost can be used as a mulch to keep soil cool, slowing water loss, and preventing weeds.
