When a line of plastic garbage bags gets you excited!
Want to know what’s in my bags…bettcha do!
It’s beautiful, and nutritious…
Look! Fo0d for my garden…lovely leaves destined to be shredded and put down as much. To break down into lovely healthy soil for next year’s garden.
Yep…you know you’re a gardener when you are thrilled by plastic bags full of leaves!
We have a dumpster specifically for people to put their leaves in here in our neighborhood. We sneak up there and get free compost.
I love collecting my neighbor’s leaves. Though I confess to being leafed out right now. I’m pretty tired of mowing my leaves to shred them.
Yes, I have a nickname for myself that I only share with people who will “get it.” Squaw (or Lady or Queen, depending on my mood) of Perpetual Compost.
Bonnie…that is funny! Yes you came to the right place for understanding ‘perpetual compost’!
Yeah – I feel your pain – there are 26 bags of leaves sitting in the back yard waiting for the mower.
I love a good bag of leaves! A couple years ago my mom’s neighbor had a big pile of birch leaves to get rid of. He bagged them up for me and I took them home on a 3-hr drive. My car smelled Great! When I got home my husband asked me, “what’s in the bag?” I said, “Leaves!” He rolled his eyes. “…for the compost pile,” I said.
