[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4070505, member: 44288"] For three years now I have been making my own compost. I mix everything including sticks and twigs when I create a pile. The sticks provide ventilation in the layers. I go around town sometimes and ask lawn guys for their bagged clippings. They usually give them gladly because they then don't have to mess with them. I through in good dark compost I already made as a starter. I turn the piles every month to prevent mold and to mix the compost up keeping it moist and hot to break down the grasses and seeds of the weeds. That is what I have been using for leveling my yard. After that big ice storm in October years ago that took out my trees, I have been trying to get grass to grow. Every damn time I would seed, the rain would come and wash it away. For a year or two I thought I was farming instead of mowing. [/QUOTE]
