Compost- Coming and Going


This is the kind of stuff I pick up and put into the compost pile.
I am surprised at the amount I pick up each time I mow. I also use this stuff in the beds I am developing. This material helps the plantings thrive by holding moisture. Putting it in the beds is like having compost piles spread around the yard. Plus, If these are kept moist, you will find a world of worms just by poking around the piles of leaf mold.
