Leafing Out
This is an odd question because more questions are HOW to make compost.
My step son started a job this summer working for a local city. They happen to have a city compost pile at the landfill site. Cool! I like a city that takes it's trash and turns it into treasure
Well, he surprised us with a truck load (2 ton) of this beautiful looking compost (if you can pick through the trash that made it way into the pile. i.e. plastic handles from buckets and a few other things).
I have no idea what is in this pile but it looks better than anything I have yet to make on my own. I tend to use it before it completely breaks down.
What concerns should I have about introducing this to my garden? Would waiting till fall be a good idea incase of "weed and feeded" grass clippings? I am certain that since it came from a city dump that 90% of this compost was made from grass and leaves which have had some treatment used on them.
But dang... It is good looking!!! And if my math is correct, it is the equivalent of 80 50lb bags of compost! @ $4.00 a bag... that is $320.00 in free compost!!!! :tools
