For best results, cut with a hand saw right before placing it in your tree stand with warm water.  You may add 1 or 2 crushed [...]]]></description>

Remember when cleaning out your garden in the fall to NOT put diseased or buggy plants in your compost pile.  I trash them or put them in the The City Compost.   Your compost pile or bin may not heat up enough to kill bugs, disease [...]]]></description>
