They just melt when you run water on them, very fun! (They are made from biodegradeable plant cellulose, and more companies are using them than ever.) I like to use cardboard under mulch as well-keeps the weeds WAY down, but you need holes to let water through. Unless you want bare ground-I did this to make a path to the electric meter and it's been weed-free for 3 years!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-75052570543321767602008-07-31T19:01:00.000-07:002008-07-31T19:01:00.000-07:00Hi Aunt Debbie, I love your idea about patio compo...Hi Aunt Debbie, <BR/><BR/>I love your idea about patio composting.

Hair balls and animal corpses. YEWWWW. <BR/><BR/>I do love the bulk coffee and fabric ideas. As a quilter, I have all those little bitty bits of thread that could go in. <BR/><BR/>I have heard about the hair, but never tried it myself.

Best orchard around! He wanted to know if they were good to compost. Audience was in shock but I can ASSURE everyone, they all died natural deaths. <BR/><BR/>On a lighter note (I hope), went to Starbucks today and picked up 15 bags of used coffee grounds. They are free for the taking at all Starbucks and most likely all coffee shops. Great for composting. Have a splendido day-hot here-I almost feel like it could be Texas-though I have never been.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-40438283177728164712008-07-21T13:43:00.000-07:002008-07-21T13:43:00.000-07:00I compost everything you listed except maybe the r...I compost everything you listed except maybe the rabbit poo, because I don't have access to that. :) Great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
