Compost!!

A lot of folks don't know this, but many counties and municipalities offer their residents free compost. The county will collect the residential leafy and green waste and turn it into sweet organic matter, perfect for gardening or small-scale farming. Candy, Julie, Heidi, and I grabbed some shovels and bins and cruised over to Newtown Square to grab some. Compost is great for covering a newly dug bed or for mulching. It's best to throw the compost on right before transplanting. Thanks to Heidi for helping us out!
