Blogger Notes

In our town we have a compost site where citizens can go dump their yard waste and pick up loads of finished compost for their gardens. I love this service in our town because we don't have to pay to get rid of our yard waste and it has kept my gardening costs down immensely.

I was there last week getting a truck-full of compost to add to my garden beds. As I was shoveling, this guy in business casual, complete with tie, stepped out of his car (some sporty sedan) with a head set on and his cell phone strapped to his belt. He began pacing the compost site talking business to somebody on the other end, really loudly I might add. He didn't even seem to notice or care that he was walking through the muddy leftovers of rotting vegetation.

We have a recycling center where we can bring recycleables and yard waste, but my town doesn't offer us any of the resulting compost. BTW, I FINALLY put a link to this blog under "Blogs I'm Reading". Sorry it took so long. Of course, if you keep blogging about your garden, I'll have to do a second one under "My Favorite Garden Blogs"!

Community compost is a great idea. Maybe the guy didn't realize he'd stopped at a compost site. Perhaps he was so caught up in his own biznez world that he'd thought he'd actually driven to the office and was heading for the coffee machine...?
