Or better, just ask your neighbors, and pick up from the ones
that don't use undesirable chemicals.

Do they collect "yard waste" from your neighborhood? You could
go
around and steal/take a few "yard waste" bags with lawn
clippings and
such, it is completely legal and free.

to produce
a much larger quantity of compost. I am considering buying
a few
bales of alfalfa and bags of steer or chicken manure for

any ideas
