SF Bay gardeners, do you compost in your yard? Would you recommend it for yard waste?

San Francisco collects compost and I’ve been sending kitchen scraps to city compost. Now that I’m finally working on my garden, I’m producing a lot of scraps from weeds, dead leaves, trimmings and so on. It seems almost wasteful to just have the city haul it away to compost and then pay for compost dirt later. But maybe it’s not?

Another city mini makeover it was just a few yards square but I wanted to make every bit of the garden interesting and this little patch got early morning sun and as the high and thick privet hedge backed onto a path it was surprisingly private because it was out of sight .I planted shrubs either side so the bench was eventually hidden and a scented shrub in front ,the ladys mantle was useful for cut flowers ands un loving herbs in pots

more from the driveway make do veg patch it was fairly early in the growing season so it filled out later ,not ideal but nicer than a concrete driveway ,it had scented flowers, herbs for the kitchen cut flowers for the house and summer salad crops

More from my city rented house garden ,I had a long concret driveway and we didnt own a car so it was unused .As I rented everything had to be temporary and easily moved so I made it my main veg and fruit patch ,not pretty as it could be ,but it gave me a lot of extra growing space, a nice view out the back door and a bit of privacy as it blocked all the view down the path from the pavement .V cheap to do

Two weeks after populating my terrace. Cilantro is finally sprouting! Thankfully yesterday's hail storm didn't ruin too many of the plants... instagram.com/p/CBBERH6lZDc/?i
