Hi, neighbors, Just wanted to share some resources for how to manage your yard waste on your own. It is not difficult. I'm assuming that if you have yard waste, you have a yard. All you really need to do it to find an out of the way spot and start piling your yard waste there. The smaller you break it up, the better. This is the lazy person's way to handle it. I did this for years before I started to compost my kitchen scraps and if you can just forget about the pile for a while (maybe plant a screen of sunflowers or put up some other sort of screen around it) then you will have compost to spread on your yard the following spring. My neighbor just dumps all of his yard waste up at the top of the hill behind his house (his property) and it is out of the way, and providing nutrients to the soil up there. I don't think he even re-uses it. There are faster ways, however, and here are some helpful resources: https://homeguides.sfgate.com/mix-yard-waste-break-down-compost-faster-96113... https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/yard-garden/composting-yard-wast... And https://www.pennlive.com/gardening/2016/10/how_to_compost_your_yard_waste.ht... You could make this a job for the kids: break sticks! Older kids could practice sawing skills with some of the larger tree debris. These are life skills. Larger sticks from tree branches can also be used as a natural trellis for peas or zucchini or other vining plants. Take care and stay safe, Heather heatherconradphotography.com
