We want to thank Mrs. Sawyer for donating our new composter. We put it next to the garden close to the primary hall so that it would be convenient to the garden and easy for us to use. We checked out the vegetables growing in the garden...cabbage and brussel sprouts. Then we added the pumpkins that had begun to rot from our pumpkin exploration in October as our "green" ingredient. We added some shredded paper as our "brown" ingredient. It will make for some great soil in the spring. And we get to watch it break down through the winter. I wonder if we will get any worms moving in to help out in the process. What do you think? Do you have a composter or a compost pile at your house?
