Compostable trash bags not suitable for compost bin

 Hi everybody, 

It's great to have people ready to compost their kitchen scraps, instead of throwing it to landfill!

A very important note: the COMPOSTABLE and/or BIODEGRADABLE green trash bags like these 

 

are NOT suitable for our bin. Please DO NOT PUT THEM in our composter. 

They work for landfills over long time periods, but not for compost bins like ours.

 Also, please add shredded paper, cardboard, egg cartons to your scraps.

Thank you!

Tree fertilizer spikes

Invisible garden maintenance . . . we pushed fertilizer spikes into the drip lines of the trees and bushes in our outside beds, first time in at least twelve years that they've been fed. The soil in our garden is primarily builders rubble (was excavated when the building was constructed in 1937), with a thin layer of self composted vegetation that has accumulated over time, so not rich at all for plants that send roots deep.
