Hi, Fran. I suggest bamboo stakes should be used to mark each burial site. :) I assume you have made contact with the Berkshire Botanical Garden folks in Stockbridge area — lots going on there to connect to.

I garden in western ma. and would love to compost but we have a number of bears we come calling and I don’t want to encourage them. I have composted by digging holes and then covering them with soil, but I often forget where the holes are!
I would love to be in touch with gardeners in the berkshires, so anyone in my neck of the woods would love to hear fromyou

Thank you, John. I covet my neighbor’s big leaf “rake” with a bag-like thing that fits on his tractor — I have to find out what it is called. He makes tons of leaf mold by shredding it first, then works it into the garden the next spring.
