Composting can create magic in your garden

I see so many people remove plants from the garden. Why do they do it? Probably because they don't want a mess? I can understand where they are coming from, but why not compost?

A compost tumbler provides a neat container to keep your leftovers in. Today's compost tumbers are sealed up tight so that squirrels, and wild animals don't bother them. In fact, a compost tumbler even speeds up the process of composting, by providing exactly the right environment. This leads to a faster benefit to your garden and flower area.

Who doesn't like free fertilizer. When you take into the account the cost of a compost tumbler, it may seem a little out there...But think about how many years you can use it. Not to mention that you don't have to worry about hauling your grass clippings, flower clippings, garden leftovers, fruit and vegetable peelings, ect. away to the curb or somewhere less desirable. They can all go to the compost tumbler and work to build up your soil so you can have beautiful flowers year round!
