I have been negligent in my composting... I was hoping to have built a chicken wire bin for my leaves but just never got to it... I even know where it is going to go but, alas, time slipped way this season... I do have several piles doing the slow burn and I have my tumbler but, geeze... Need to get that going...

I did, however, end up buying some crappy straw this past year to multh the veggie garden which had alot of see in it and the barley was up 18 inches yesterday when I plowed so I set the plow for the full 15 inches and let 'er rip... That barley, plus the straw is under 15 inches of freshly turned garden soil now so we should be okay with organic material rotting this winter...

We are going to sort thru our final harvest this morning and come up with a distribution plan... Fortunately, the Garden Club meets today so there will be some willing takers...
