More FREE compost ideas:
Most cities/municipalities that offer "leaf pickup" usually take all of their leaf mulch to a remote city lot and dump the leaves there. Ask, and ye might be rewarded with all the leaf mulch you could possibly ever use, and usually for FREE too. Find out when they have "equipment" on site and they will usually load you for free too. Of course a "Coffee Traveler" from Starbucks ($13.00 approx) on a cold day would probably get you enough leaf mulch to break the axle on your truck.
