I was able to pick up a load of FREE compost, today! My uncle is a farmer, and he has run a cotton gin for years. When they clean the cotton, the seeds and hulls get dumped into a pile and eventually begins to compost. I've used it in my garden for years, and it is good stuff! I plan on mixing it into my native soil and using it in my garden beds and to plant my orchard.
Original ImageMy uncle has recently shut down his ginning operation, and this is what is left of the cotton hull compost. So, I filled up my little truck bed today, and there are about 2-3 more loads still sitting out there. It is going to be unbelievably helpful when I start filling my raised garden beds, and I am so thankful to my aunt and uncle for providing it! I'll definitely have to drop by and give them some garden fresh veggies this summer!!
