Composting Has Begun

I finally got my compost pile started. It took a lot of machete-ing to clear the weeds out of the NE corner of the garden. There were a lot of boxelder saplings growing there, so I chopped them down to make stakes for my tomatoes. I'm not sure if they'll be sturdy enough late in the season, but for now they'll at least keep the leaves off the ground. Now I guess it's time to read up on composting.
