I let the older lady in the back of the pic with the cart have the hay bales for her chickens & even loaded them for her. I figured chicken bedding was a more noble cause than just making compost. What I really wanted was to get the hay after the chickens were done with it, but she had driven from Starke(50ish miles) just for the pumpkins. Will do on the updates! The 2 Spanish moss bins will take longer since I do not turn them. I leave the small sticks & twigs to keep the moss from matting. Volunteer pumpkin seedlings just become more "greens" when the pile is turned. I even have volunteers riding around Jax with me in the back of the truck.
