Black Gold....

Black Gold...
Not of the 'crude' type.  But, of the leaf type.

Before the rains, I raked off the top layer in the compost bin.  Moved all those un-rotted leaves.  
The ants were not too happy with me.  They've made several nests in there.
It's their job....to break down matter.  But, they surely didn't want my presence,
and let me know about it.

I uncovered what I was looking for.

  I managed to get three cartloads of this good stuff.
I don't screen it.  Just take out the sticks and other things that don't work out so well.

I used this to top dress plants in the fenced yard.   It makes great mulch, 
and feeds the plants naturally.  The plants love it.  The worms love it.
And, I love it.

It's a good thing.

Have a Great Weekend...
