Compost! Compost! Compost!


The dog days of August are a good time to add to your compost pile. As the days are long and hot, compost quickly breaks down during this time of year into dark, rich soil. Things to add to compost:
1. Vegetable scraps
2. Egg shells
3. Coffee grinds
4. Tea bags
5. Yard waste (grass clippings, etc.)

What not to add:
1. Meat
2. Milk products
3. Yard waste that has weed seeds

*Be sure to turn your compost once a week with a pitch fork
