Userjh160,
Uhhhhhh, noooooooo you're not crazy..
Everyone else who doesn't save all that
stuff to make "Black Gold" are the one's
that are CRAZY!!
When you get all done with your pile
and seeeeeeee that beautiful, dark, rich,
nutrious, loamy, organic, FREE.....oh, er, um..
guess I get carried away
there when I
talk about compost...
But you'll be thanking your self, over and over
again, when it comes time to use it..
***I use most of it, sifted, when I do my seedlings, to extend the store bought seed starting mixes that I get, they're expensive as
all get out, but I still like using them, but
with the amount of seeds I start... I have to have something to stretch it all out..***
And you're not crazy to have the neighbors saving you stuf.. why not, if you know them and feel comfortable enough to ask them, then dooooooooo it!
I have my upstairs tenant do it, my mother who lives right next door, and a few here and there
I send down tomatoes too...
Whyyyyyyyyyy not!!!!
Cuts down on your garbage too..
Helps you keep your girlish *or boyish* figure
while you're out there getting exercise #1. walking there #2. dumping it in #3. turning the pile every so often #4. dumping it and sifting it
#5. using it on your garden..
Look at allllll that free excerise, they
charge at those exercise places...
Really, it can be a little bit of work,
but it is SOOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH IT.!!!
