Apple Surplus
We started a new compost pile for apples this year. Since I've been putting grass clippings into the normal compost pile, it's filled up rather fast. But not to worry, the apples decompose very quickly and by spring they'll be ready to go into the garden soil.
A whole lotta apples.

Travel,
ReplyDeleteLOL Your idea would be great were it not for Callie. Can you imagine her displeasure?
From "newsiness", I now understand why you kept on putting off the hedge trimming. That with wood cutting is probably your least favorite chores to tackle.
ReplyDeleteI need some pommes for some more pomme desserts... My fav-- compote aux pommes (sans sucre).....
ReplyDeleteWow, do they get a bit smelly as they decompose?
ReplyDeleteThey do bio-degrade fast... but that is a great deal of un-made cobbeler!!!
