Dealing with garden refuse - how do you do it?
Comments (16)I compost everything, including yard waste and kitchen scraps and still somehow never have enough compost to go around and at least 1 of my compost piles always seems to have room. Some things are reduced in size by the lawn mower running over it as denninmi described and then composted. Most of the autumn leaves never make it to the compost pile; they get run over multiple times and then raked back into the lawn or used to mulch flower beds. I can process all my stuff that needs composting from all my gardens as well as periodic additions of manure in a space that's a little under 3 1/2' x 12' and can be up to 4' high (except for really large branches which go into the woods) and I actively garden what's probably more than an acre of beds, mixed borders along with a large veggie garden. Can you widen your compost area behind the garage? My mum lives in a suburb where you can put sticks and other yard refuse out for recycling, either bundled in less than 4' lengths or in brown yard refuse bags. (I do most of her gardening.) In my small rural town, there is an area of the town transfer station where yard refuse is collected and composted for those who don't compost....See MoreOMG!

Comments (30)Debrak, you may want to read a bit more about vitamin D before you self medicate with a higher dose. We tend to overdo this stuff in the U.S. From the article linked below: " The US Endocrine Society guidance, for example, advises supplementation with up to 2000 IU per day, but this is overzealous, she said. "A more reasonable dose is 600 to 800 IU per day," she noted, adding that she is an author on a new guidance, soon to be published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, which will state that 2000 IU per day "is not warranted." " The uv wavelength that helps us produce vitamin D is the same that causes aging and skin cancer (with enough exposure). So limited sun exposure is the key. Right now vitamin D is the new fad--- it has replaced the megadoses of vitamins a, e and c, and other supplements that seemingly everyone has been on at one time or another. Here is a link that might be useful: Journal Article on Vitamin D from European Endocrinology Conference...See MoreHow do you deal with Slugs
Comments (2)I go the commercial route and use Deadline M-P's mini pellets and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, and haven't had any issues with pets or wildlife and this product doesn't harm earthworms. I feel some of those "pet safe" products lure a person into complacency and people over use them and they have been found to be not as pet safe (or wildlife) then what they claim. There is a good article on this on the Hosta Library reading room. If you only have a limiter number of hosta, the beer system or ammonia in a spray bottle works just fine....See MoreHow do you deal with electrical cords in lr?
