We still have the compost bins, Mary, but Jack decided not to continue making more compost. It's too much work, too much turning and he is 84 now. I haven't needed more anyhow. We have enough for a long time to come.
They're right. Don't add more kitchen waste once a pile is finished.
The mulch was a lifesaver. There's no way I can keep pace with 30 gardens without both Preen and mulch.
