We have a small garden and we put the grass clippings, that we get after raking in the spring, into one of the two compost piles. My wife uses one and puts the fresh clippings in the other and switches from year to year. We have a bin for the table scraps and veggie trimmings. Egg shells go in that one too.

We have a Rainer cherry tree, a Montmorency cherry tree (makes an awesome syrup and dried cherries), a plum tree, a pear tree, a Fuji apple tree and a State Fair apple tree. We have to net the cherry trees. We also have a grape vine that nets 18-20# of grapes for juicing and using the soda stream to make sparkling grape juice. We are putting a vine in this spring for grapes you can snack on.

We are up to -2* today! The snow yesterday was packed so when I used the snow blower it just pushed big chunks ahead of it rather than augering it in the chute to throw it.
