I love a summer compost heap

Summer is my compost pile's best friend.  The higher temperatures speed up the cooking process and can result in a rich batch of decomposed yard and kitchen waste in half the time.

If you are not already adding this fuzzy bi-product to your compost, give it a try.  Just one more thing I don't have to add to my trash can.

Remember to give your compost a 'drink of water' now and again.  Long periods of drought can upset the natural 'break down' process.  Water and oxygen help maintain the balance in your waste pile and keep all the resident micro organisms happy, too.

Happy July!!
