I'm hoping for a decent amount of rain to soften the soil so I can dig out those weeds from my compost pile. So far, no rain seen though it was supposed to be here last night and all day.

I got this shovel, perfect length and I have used it once when I first got it. Didn't have that weed issue in my compost then. So, this shovel will be put to use when I can get some good rain out there to soak it really well.

Argh! Only got about 15 minutes of rain today and it's not enough to soften that soil out there to work with. At least for me, hubby could do it in a heartbeat, but I don't want him to have to take care of that for me. Hoping for more rain in the next couple of days.

Wow, I have the greatest husband in the world. I woke up this morning to a weed free compost pile. He said he's mowing so decided to go inside the cage and take care of the weeds for me first. What a great guy he is. He piled everything into the middle, it's all mixed up and looks awesome. My compost doesn't smell, it is awesome. Now if I can figure out how to keep the weeds from growing into the compost pile. It's the runners that do it.

Keep a "no mans land" around the pile.
