When I opened them, everything was composted into a wholesome black mess, which contained numerous earth worms, some as thick as a finger. I've just had 100 bags prepared and look forward to the next 12 months passing by quickly to spring, 2013. I live near Richmond VA, and would like to hear from anyone in the general area who is doing compost gardening. By-the-way, I am a Mr. not a Miss, Ms. or Mrs. It's the name that confuses people.

We have tons of leaves around here. Craig just uses a mulching mower. We should save some to turn into compost though. That’s a great idea. We have tons of leaves around here.
