I love the holidays where lots of folks enjoy eating, that means more food scraps for the compost piles! I going out on the prowl today all over several neighborhoods and businesses, to collect truck loads of old pumpkins and hay bales for the piles. Plus I think I'll try aerobically, hot composting and making some aerated teas, out of old chicken and turkey wastes, if I have enough to use. Yum! Yum! Homemade chicken/turkey blood-bone meal or turkey emulsion! (LOL) Happy Gardening everybody! |

Do you go to the trouble of chopping up the turkey neck before placing it in the pile? Just curious... |

Not really. I usually chop large chunky stuff in my stockpiles with either my hoe or a mattock. The extra nitrogen and aerobic microbes in my piles digest the bones very quick. |

Hubby and I were peeling and chopping on Thanksgiving day, and looking at the pile of good compost ingredients, I suggested we go around to the neighbors and ask for their stuff. He didn't appreciate that idea, unfortunately. Oh well! |

Too bad. I think it is a great idea! The lady I previously lived next door to would give me her kitchen scraps. Another lady gave me her dog drops!
