There is little more that can bring such great joy to a natural gardener's heart than compost, but one of the things that can is FREE compost.. On a recent job site the owner is cleaning up the backyard in preparation for renting out the home which entails removing years of collected layers of leaves which were never raked. The plan for these leaves was to bag them and send them to the landfill. That was the plan before I jumped in to offer to take the bags away saving them the trouble of disposal, and at the same time gaining some wonderful compost material which is already partially decayed. It pays to make it known that you are a gardener, and that you will eagerly take away compost material!.
