We average over 100 hundred inches of rain annually. Makes the grass grow well in the spring. I would like to compost. The best browns are leaves from deciduous trees or peat moss. If you do not have leaves from deciduous trees, ask you neighbors to save some for you or contact the parks dept. in town.
Coffee grounds are also a great addition to the compost pile.
You may need to cover your compost pile at times because of the heavy rainfall in your area. Discouraging Squirrels I have problems with squirells. They dig up everything I plant. They dig up bulbs and they dig up plants that I have just planted. Do you have any suggestions on how I can keep the squirells out of my garden.
