Smashing Pumpkins

Tis the season for composters like me love. Leaves are everywhere and so are pumpkins! So far, I've managed to score 6 of them. They are great additions to the compost pile. This happy jack-o-lantern rests on top of my compost pile totally unaware he's about to be massacred by a tall guy wielding a machete.

Before

And after.

The compost pile has never been happier. After repeating this process 6 times and slightly burying the evidence of the scene, my pile is ready to sit for a while, doing its thing. Looking forward to some great fertilizer come spring time. Take advantage of the many lawn decorations in your area people are looking to get rid of... straw bales, pumpkins, corn stalks, or any other organic material your compost pile may benefit from.
