Compost – Improvising Your Own
Q: I’ve got a clogged storm drain that the county will soon clean. Would that stuff be usable for compost?
A: I think it would be perfect! Compost is simply plant material that has decomposed so your stuff is exactly that. Apply a layer a couple of inches thick to new flower beds and mix it eight inches deep.
