Get Your Leaves!

Now’s the time of year to start collecting all the leaves you can.  With winter right around the corner, having a steady supply of leaves to complement your food scraps is super important to keeping the pile cooking as long as it can.

While cold temperatures can bring composting to a complete stop, don’t worry- as soon as the temperatures begin to climb again, the pile picks up right where it left off as if nothing happened.

I keep adding materials through the winter, but the key is to have enough brown material to keep the food scraps covered.  Between sawdust (non-pressure treated wood) and shredded leaves, you’re good to go!
