Leaves are an invaluable addition to a new or old compost area. Shred the leaves and bless your compost pile with this "natural gold". Or share your leaves with a neighbor or community gardening association.

    I used to use one of those bins where you could load the material on the top and unload the compost on the bottom. Plus the boys loved to "feed the worms." Unfortunately, when I tried to move it- it fell part so now I am back to a pile again.
