I compost. We get the weekly paper and that is what gets ground up into compost. My roses love it!!! I use grass, leaves, coffee grounds, all my vegie and fruit leavings. I use a compost container but it doesnt give me enough so this year I will start one out back of the shed and will use the roto tiller to help things along. Love the horses laugh...

Occasionally I go in with a garden fork and turn it over. (They think I am the best chicken ever.) I have very good neighbors who give me the leaves they have raked from their yards each year.Elaine/Muddling Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542943000832182111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-52014978312001248332013-01-30T05:36:03.824-08:002013-01-30T05:36:03.824-08:00Great post!

We don't take the paper, but I'm sure it would indeed wind up in the compost! Our pile has gotten bigger every year, and we've got some great stuff to add to part of the garden. It'd be nice to have enough for the whole garden - who knows? Maybe next year?Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-38132265735810409662013-01-29T16:52:31.214-08:002013-01-29T16:52:31.214-08:00 I get the news via TV, or online, and yes, we com... I get the news via TV, or online, and yes, we compost. BUT, somewhere along the line, I have missed a vital part of the whole process, as I, and my garden, do not resemble in any way the elegant lady with flowers galore. Love your post, super reading, it cheered me up so much.

I picked up a book from the library yesterday which was re-printed from war time in England called "How to gor food a wartime guide." by Doreen Wallace, it is a interesting read,things have certainly changed in gardening over the years.<br /><br />Happy days.<br />Bev.xoxoBev Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779873950474515819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-27010592363440595012013-01-29T15:58:50.596-08:002013-01-29T15:58:50.596-08:00Thanks for the information on composting!

Usually we check the weather only. <br />Those are great gardening tips! We do compost, but not as much as we should. I plan to work on that more this year.<br />Have a great week!magnoliasnteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517995125207145961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-447501288850178762013-01-29T12:36:22.777-08:002013-01-29T12:36:22.777-08:00Thanks for the great tips!I don't presently co...Thanks for the great tips!I don't presently compost but have been wanting to give it a try.Hopefully this will be the year.Hugs,Jenjennifer768https://www.blogger.com/profile/15725722641743193859noreply@blogger.com
