The Ides of March one day late.
With a nice warm day behind us I can reflect on how we spend our spring days. With my Hill City neighbors to encourage me (make me feel guilty) I now have our small yard raked, the part we mow anyway. I am not about to start raking the upper back part of the yard as it is natural forest. I am envisioning the green grass and warm wind of summer. My green thumb starting to throb so I built my free, no work and simple to build compost pile http://www.blackhillsgarden.com/index.php?p=1_7_Composting-in-tire-towers. This will make a nice, easy place for the Hill City Home renters to put compost material (food scraps, coffee grounds with filters, etc.). The more soil I can make the better our garden will be in addition to the less we put in the landfill the more we benefit.
