compost

I've bee doing more research about compost.
It's not supposed to attract flies.
Ours does.
If you have the right mix of kitchen scraps and yard waste there will be no flies.
Or so they say.
So I've been researching how and where to get more yard waste because we don't have enough.
Dh is planning on mowing soon.... but then our landlord came today and mowed... and I see no grass clippings.
On a walk to the library with the kids I saw someone doing yard work and filling those paper bags you put out with the trash.
I wiped the drool from my mouth before asking if he planned on just throwing away his yard "waste"
He said he was but if I wanted it he'd leave it for me at the end of his driveway.
I'm going to go over tonight and get it:)
Hopefully that discourages the flies somewhat.
