Leaf Compost | Plastic Bag Composting

September 15, 2014

With summer coming to an end and the cool fall air already making an appearance, it won’t be long before leaf season is upon us. Soon the days will be spent raking leaves into large piles while feverishly trying to contain them before a gust of wind comes along and undoes your laborious efforts, but then what? You could take the time to transport the leaves that you worked so hard to collect and drop them off at a local yard waste facility or participating landfill, or you can turn those leaves into nutritious compost for your garden and yard projects next spring!
