2,400 lbs of FREE compost. Wow! I would surely love a deal like that. My favorite price for stuff. And I was sitting up late looking at methods or equipment to grind oak leaves small enough to use in making compost. What a difference 2000 miles can make!

3 or 4 weeks ago, we got 2,050 pounds of it. Another load, and I’ll have enough to till 1.5-2” of it into the east half of the garden.

Not easy, but well worth it: drive 60 miles, and be loaded; drive back. Shovel it out into a stock pile. Shovel into garden tractor trailer, and spread on the garden, then till it in.

No way I could make anywhere near that amount of compost; and it would be even more work involved.
