Seriously Why do you think me is so worried about it! Tons of grass! Not to mention some knarly briars which are incroatching the property lines..LOL

[Seany (OP)]

Wow.. It is a jungle you have back there!

Up to your waste.. 2 acres..

When ours is really grown, its about up to our ankle, and if we do the front and back garden, we get 3-4 big black bags.. And that land doesnt even make 1 acre..

If your garden is up to your waste with 2 acres of it.. I think you'll have around 15-20 black bags!

[Karen W.]

I think you are right but I don't bag the grass I compost it! It is lovely addition to our dirt! LOL

[Seany (OP)]

LOL, where do you put it then? We take it to the reclying place, where they make compost out of it..

[Karen W.]

I put it in the back part of me property in a compost pile you know, straw dirt grass leaves raw vegetables uncooked food.. Then turn it regularly until you have nice black dirt!

[Seany (OP)]

Ooo.. That's quite nice.. How long does it take to turn black?

[Seany (OP)]

Gotta go for now Karen. Mum needs the computer [] Have fun

[Karen W.]

A few weeks if you keep at it, sometimes longer if the pile starts out really big..You can add shredded news paper also..cardboard also decomposes nicely in the pile!

[Seany (OP)]

Does the newspaper help with the decomposing, or it is a good compost?

[Karen W.]

It is a good compost least wise we have always used it here!

[Seany (OP)]

OH.. I've heard that egg skin is good as well!

[Karen W.]

I do not put protein like meats in .. egg shells are good but no yolks..No cooked vegetables either as these tend to attract rats.. If you keep it to the other you can have a healty pile no rats!

[Seany (OP)]

We get no rats over here.. Well I haven't seen one!

[Karen W.]

Wow No rats! Thats cool. If you are not careful your compost pile can be a problem!!

[Seany (OP)]

Mmm I see.. We don't even get bats around here! Or I don't think so.. Maybe hedgehogs in the winter, when the fireworks are around and that.. And a few foxes on roads now and then.. And squirrels in back yard. But apart from that, and cats and dogs and birds, not much around!

[Karen W.]

You've seen too many movies they aren't swarming down on everyone , although the Bob Cat and the Mountain Lions come down regularly to the river, I have had both in me yard.. LOL For awhile I was loosing fish to the hunters .. LOL

[Seany (OP)]

ROFL.. Have you ever been intimidated by any of them?
