I collect hundreds of bags of leaves in the fall from the surrounding
towns--I'd really like people to deliver, but haven't figured out the right
pitch yet, to get the quantity and quality I need without becoming a dump.
I'd also like to accept grass clippings from landscaping companies, but worry
about pesticide and herbicide residues. Does anyone have any experience with
this, and how do you cope with these potential problems? Mary, does the town
inform you about their spraying practices?
