One Unique Method Suited To Handling Kitchen Garbage Might Appeal Even To The Ecologically Concerned Apartment Dweller. The Overly-Large Garden Produces Dozens And Dozens Of Stumps And Uneaten Savoy Cabbages. Sprouting Potatoes, Mildewed Squash, And Shriveled Apples Are Spread Atop Brassica Stalks. With The First Frost In October, There Is A Huge Amount Of Garden Cleanup. Compost Turning Can Be A Laborious, Sweat-Inducing, Back-Breaking Task Or It Can Be Rather Quick And Simple. Even With A Really Sharp Shovel, It Is Exceedingly Challenging To Penetrate A Compost Pile. One Requires A Hay Fork, Sometimes Known As A Pitchfork By Most People. Spading Forks With Four Wide-Flat Blades DonT Work Well For Turning Heaps, But In Extremes, ID Prefer One To A Shovel.
