As if you need another reason to compost, besides keeping stuff out of the landfill (or in the sewer system if you have a garbage disposal) and creating nice, nutrient-rich soil to grow more good stuff, how about these apples? I mean, squash!Mike found this big, ripe acorn squash in our compost pile this morning. I've seen volunteer tomatoes in compost before, but this is the first gift squash I've encountered. We're going to enjoy eating it roasted with a little butter and salt and pepper. And we didn't have to do a thing to get it, except throw the kitchen scraps (including the seeds from an acorn squash last year, obviously), onto the compost pile back on the old overgrown patio. Free food! What could be better . . .
