• What do you do with all the leaves when they begin to fall? One way to reduce the volume of the leaves in your yard is to run your lawn mower over them to shred them into smaller pieces. That's especially good advice if you plan to compost the leaves, because smaller pieces of organic matter compost more quickly. If you're in the market for a composter that holds a lot of yard debris and makes quick compost, consider the ComposT-Twin. It's the only composter that has twin 10-bushel-capacity drums that enable you to "cook" compost in one drum while you still add yard and kitchen waste into the other drum. Learn more.
There is no such thing as having too much compost. Compost can be used in a variety of ways. Here are just a few of the many ways to use compost in your garden:
|
Mix compost in along vegetable rows or around flowering plants |
|
Work compost in to the top 4" of soil around perennials |
|
Top-dress an established lawn |
|
Compost can be used as an excellent potting soil in container gardens. However, gardeners should use only fully decomposed (called "finished") compost as potting mix. |
