Add your grass clippings & leaves. Turn under with a shovel. Water occasionally when very dry. This promotes less landfill waste, improved soil when compost decays, and worms love it. Then birds & other critters love the worms. And you have plenty fish bait when you need it. Composting is very environmentally friendly.

I love your comment.Thanks. As for what I am doing to be more wldlife friendly here in the Colorado Mountains;the birds eat better than I do as I fill my 3 feeders every other day,I empty the frozen water dish every morning with fresh water,snags are left until I just have to have them for fire wood in order to not freeze to death,my dog only harrases the bears to keep them away from me and the house,there is no reason to use pesticides of any kind either inside or outside the house as bugs don't live too freely at 10k foot elevation,of course grass doesn't grow up here either,so no yard to mow,all I can do with vertical layering is stack rocks which give the chipmonks and squirrels more places to live!

There is a spring in back, and I put out food for birds/other animals. I encourage lizards, geckos, frogs, and bats and fly catching birds to come into my yard and they are welcome to climb on the house to eat bugs, too! Just feeding and shooting deer is not considered helping the ecology! I try to make my yard as wildlife friendly as possible. There is a spring in back, and I put out food for birds/other animals.
