Palms for the Compost



















We celebrated Palm Sunday today at Epworth UMC. I though instead of the palms just get tossed in the trash, we'd collect the extras and take them out to the compost bins in the garden. I stripped the leaves from the stem in hope the leaves would decay and threw away the thicker stems. This make a perfect layer of green material. I shoveled some dirt over the leaves and there were some leaves in the next layers. It has been a while since the compost has been turned. I'm hoping as the weather warms the composting process will kick into high gear and we'll have nice compost for the fall.
