Espoma 27 lbs. Organic Holly Tone Fertilizer
I have composted leaves from the yard the last two falls. I had been buying “LeafGro” to amend my veggie garden raised beds. When I started, it was $3/bag - last year it was up over $5. So, I could only buy so many bags (10), enough for 2 beds.
Composting my own leaves, I was able to add compost to ALL the beds last fall, when I made room for the new batch of fallen leaves. When I calculated what I’d saved, it was close to $175 at a minimum.
I do add some Milorganite fertilizer to the composting leaves - helps them break down & works well in the garden. A 32 lb bag is $16.98 .... I’ll have to get a bag this year, but I still have some left over from last year.
Hopefully this will mean more people composting and adding food gardens to their yards to combat some of this inflation.
It might also have people think twice about the foods they buy, and they just might learn to cook from scratch or - Heaven Forfend! - learn to bake a loaf of bread.
Every step you can take towards greater self-sufficiency the BETTER, IMHO.
And if you haven’t figured it out by now, Mother Government is NOT your friend...
...but, Mother Nature is! :)
