Why Not Consider Composting?
Why destroy all those nutrients that most gardeners pay big money to replenish their gardens with? Instead of burning debris, try composting!
- If you have neighbours who are also disposing of their yard waste, why not rent a chipper together and grind the larger debris all in one day?
- Instead of burning your leaves, use a bag mower and pick up the leaves, then add the small pieces to your compost. By Spring you will have wonderfully rich soil to add to your garden beds.
- Stockpiling leaves beside your compost bin and adding them throughout the winter enriches your compost.
- Composting reduces yard waste volume by 50 to 75 per cent.
