What do you all do about composting or do you?

My compost pile way back in the corner of the yard. Mostly leaves, grass clippings, table scraps etc. I figure back there the animals can feast and it will keep them away from the house about 150 ft away. I try and turn it over every couple of weeks. It will get spread on the garden when I till it in May.

I have 3 compost bins the cone shape with a door down the bottom. It does very good compost but can't put plants that have gone to seed because it doesn't get hot enough to kill the seeds off. One year I put old poppy plants that had gone to seed in and when I put the compost on the garden I had a lot of poppies come up but in the places that I didn't want them.

Most of mine is kitchen scraps with some brown cardboard in between. I put in old cotton towels now and again.

I use mine as a mulch around the fruit bushes and the roses.
