HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Thursday Oct. 31,
Now what to do with your Halloween Pumpkins
I like to keep pumpkins out until after Thanksgiving if they look good. Please think twice before dumping your Halloween pumpkins in the trash and, instead, recycle them!
Here are some recycling suggestions:
• Chop the pumpkin into smaller pieces (to speed up composting) before putting it in your compost bin to turn it into a nutrient-rich garden amendment. Or bury them in the ground 10 in. deep.
• Let the pumpkin decompose in a corner of your yard; you may be rewarded with another pumpkin vine next year!
• Place the pumpkin in a wooded area where squirrels and deer will feast on it.
*Raise pumpkins off the ground to protect smaller creatures like hedgehogs, who might accidentally consume too much and become unwell.
*Squirrels and birds will love pumpkins as a treat, but let's make sure we're keeping them safe.
*Place them in spots away from roads to avoid potential accidents.
*Dispose of any leftover pumpkins after a few days to prevent them from rotting or attracting pests.
Here’s why making the effort to recycle pumpkins is important: The cost of trash disposal is based on weight. Pumpkins are heavy! and take up to 20 years to decompose in a landfill.
Be Careful of the Deer in the Headlights - t's Mating season for Deer and they are a lot more active. According to AAA, the most crashes involving animals occur in October, Nov. and Dec It's also darker earlier in the evening once Daylight Saving Time ends during the first week in November.
