What is the lazy way to compost?

• <div><p>Lazy composting involves putting leaves, grass clippings, and plant trimmings in a corner of your yard and letting nature take its course.

How do I dispose of excess wood?

• <div><p>Wood is a very versatile material, so you can either compost it, use it for firewood, turn it into wood chips, or save it for future projects.

The easiest way to remove bushes is first to cut the bush down. You may need to use a handsaw, pruning shears, or a chainsaw for thicker branches. Once you’ve removed most of the branches, you can then cut the base of the shrub as low to the ground as you can get. Then, with a shovel, dig around until you expose the roots.
