Re: update

I always wondered about this. I'm too lazy to bother posting anything to give away- but if I put extra stuff out on a Saturday AM with a FREE sign, some garage-saler usually is happy to make it disappear.

always, someone has to make a buck or cause havoc and basically ruin
it!.
Do you belong to a garden club? Maybe an announcement at the local meeting? Donna

Yes, I've used Freecycle successfully a few times but then I quit. I
don't like giving out my address, there is a lot of crime here and it
makes me uneasy. And there's no place out front to pile it unless they
took it straight out of the dumpster so whoever picked up the stuff
would have to drive into my back yard, and I definitely don't want
people I don't know back there. Many many years ago, before we had sheep, we used to get free horse 
manure from the boarding stables a few miles away. All you could haul!
We took advantage of that many a time. Who knew I would one day be
figuring out how to get rid of the stuff?

Cyndi,

Do you have a freecycle group in your area? Horse manure is very popular
on our local lists, though of course the list leans very heavily towards
baby clothes, picture frames, toys, decorative items, computers,
furniture  and kitchenware, plus used appliances. I've gotten some neat
stuff, too - like enough leftover patio stone to make a walk-way.

Sounds like they need to go alright. Are you putting anything new in
there or just waiting for the ivy to come back?
We used to rent a dumpster for several weeks in the spring for all the
clean-up. But it seemed like we were always piling up stuff over the
year waiting to rent the dumpster. So we just rented a smaller one
permanently. I started dumping the horse manure in it recently,

there's

too much of it to compost. Now before we even start garden clean-up

the

thing is half full. At least we're getting our money's worth.
Our neighborhood association also does a clean-up weekend where they
hire the huge dumpster and members can get rid of stuff. It's very
popular.
