Weekend Project: Make and Use Compost

Making compost is one of the smartest, most productive things you can do as a gardener. You'll turn yard and kitchen waste into rich, organic matter that's a valuable soil amendment for your garden and yard. You'll also reduce your garbage output, and help meet widespread restrictions now imposed for landfills. Contrary to common thought, a compost pile doesn't smell bad, attract pests, or create an eyesore.
