@Hazelnut,
I plan to start a compost pile of weeds from the lake that we raked up last fall. Right now they are piled up on the shore. Maybe they will be finished by June even, when I am ready to plant. I can just put it on top of the soil!
We have plenty of old dock wood to make a compost bin. We have a plethora of material in the forest around to make a huge cookin' pile. Thanks for the inspiration to get started!
