Smashing Pumpkins?
After you've made your pumpkin pies, soups, breads and roasted seeds, and after you've lit your carved pumpkin for Halloween, what do you do with it once the holiday is over? Try composting it! To avoid adding waste to your local landfill, smash the pumpkin after your celebration and put it in the garden.
- Make sure the insides are removed
- Find a spot in the yard and place a compost bin or dig a small hole to bury
- Smash the pumpkin
- Add leaves or yard waste to the desired location
- Add smashed pumpkin
- Add more yard waste if desired and let nature do its work
A great site we found on pumpkin composting is earth911.com.
