    I have a tree that the squirrels and birds just love to sit and play in. Other than composting, I also feed the birds and squirrels by leaving bread and nuts for them under this tree.

      Hello Felicia:
      Not sure where you are located but in Michigan, when I was a kid there were only brown squirrels, blue Jay and red robins. Now I only see black squirrels and crows! Weird, I know but I no longer live in the city so maybe the outskirts have always been different. Just something I notice.

    I love to garden and being outdoors. I have native plant beds and receive all types of visitors such as birds, butterflies, dragonflies, squirrels, bees. During the summer, I would just sit in a chair and watch them all as the dogs played. Nature is a gift!

      I don't have dogs, but I enjoy sitting outside watching the members of the feral cat colony (all neutered) cavort. Right now I have to keep a spray bottle of water handy to discourage them from trying to catch and eat the migrating Monarchs. We have a wide variety of pollinators (including my least favorite, WASPS) as well as squirrels and opossums. Raccoons sometimes encroach, but we discourage them because they're destructive and sometimes just plain mean.

    New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?

    When compost is ready, I plan to spread it around in my many native plant gardens. The nutrients are healthy for the plants to feed from and it will also save on buying additional garden soil which also saves money.

    I recently started to by detergent laundry sheets. Saves on the waste of having the empty laundry bottles to recycle.

      Congrats! How do they clean for you? I have used the sheets for two years now, trying a few different brands. I am now exploring a pod version made by one of the sheet maker brands. So far so good!
