One is we have our own compost bin, two we use them as mulch, three we send some to our city composting site and four we do put them in the chicken coop to help keep the mud under control and the bonus is like you said, they get to play in them. I have not tried doing what you do with the plastic bags, but I think that is brilliant!Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-75654085613958797872017-11-06T17:44:24.632-07:002017-11-06T17:44:24.632-07:00That is really smart what you did with Uber.

ZWe save all of ours and our solution to use them up is: I put our leaves into large black plastic (heavy duty) yard bags to save throughout the winter. I empty a bag a time for the chickens to peck through to relieve the boredom. As spring approaches I add organic fertilizer and a little water to each bag and let the heat from the black plastic compost the remaining leaves for the garden beds. The bags and their composted leaf material can be added wherever needed. <br />When we have had extreme weather I have even used the bags as insulation around the chicken coop.<br />lab1281https://www.blogger.com/profile/02233118578138757891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-65353773970334126012017-11-06T07:33:45.336-07:002017-11-06T07:33:45.336-07:00Nothing really too crazy, as I was traveling for w...Nothing really too crazy, as I was traveling for work. A few wins. . . despite being crazy jet lagged on Saturday, we opted for a frozen Costco lasagna, vs take out or a restaurant. Also, I bought an Uber gift card through Rite Aid, and used it for my work travel. I earned a $10 Rite Aid reward, and expensed the Uber fees.
