Don't throw away scraps

What happens when homeowners have a house full of bags of leaves. What to do with them?  Even though leaves and other yard waste are annoying and unsightly, particularly during the fall and winter months of the year, there is something one can use them for such as and mother nature at the same time!  Composting, it might be a little time consuming, but it is well worth it!  Making a composting bin or pile in your yard is easier than you might think.  Just add a thick layer of leaves, about four to five inches and then add a thin layer of fertile soil.  After you do this, you can keep adding leaves and even other yard wastes such as grass clippings, dead flowers or plants and a variety of other things.  Keep the pile aerated and moist so that nature will do its work in creating a soil amendment that you can use to increase your soil conditions and the overall health and productivity of your plants and flowers. Add in vegetable and fruit peelings.  Just do not add any meat or bone to the mixture. One will see how you will decrease the amount of waste you produce each week after beginning to compost.  Helping nature and yourself have never been so fun!  You can also compost any time of the year, even if the winters are particularly extreme.  You can also buy a bin for composting, build your own or even just keep it in a pile.  Composting is a little time-consuming, but with the way mother nature has been treated in the past, doesn’t she deserve a little attention and care?  Give composting a try and see how it will transform not only your soil conditions, but the beauty and health of your flowers and plants.
