While having a full fledged garden is rewarding and enjoyable, lots of people simply don’t have the time that is needed to maintain it. Whether you have too much going on at work or too many kids to take care of, you should never try to operate a garden when you don’t think you can handle it.

Many individuals who maintain gardens have a large amount of organic waste, from grass clippings to leaves and dead plants. Unfortunately, many waste money and time having these wastes transported to a landfill. It isn’t just a waste of good compost; it’s a waste of everything that goes into the process of transporting it (the garbage man’s time, the money you pay for the removal, etc).
