We Compost!

Since arriving here in 2002, we began a composting program that has grown into a mountain of topsoil.  It has been a number of years since we have been forced to buy topsoil and the money savings is significant.

Each year we add leaves, excavated soil from the course, sod, stump grindings (wood shavings) and a few grass clippings.  This mixture has produced a wonderful topsoil that we use on the course for various projects.   

We use the excavator to "turn" the compost to add air and mix the material.  If you are curious, the compost area is located left of 3 fairway behind the evergreens.
