Are you wondering what to do with your pumpkins after Halloween? Don't kick your them to the curb just yet. Whether you carved them, or left them whole, this mighty squash has plenty of life in it yet. Composting is a wonderful way to recycle your pumpkin. If your city offers a composting program, then make use of it, especially if your jack-o-lantern has been out for a while. However, if you have a garden, compost it yourself. It is as easy as burying it in the ground. Worms love the soft flesh of pumpkins! Burying it also keeps any smells below ground, keeps unwanted bugs away, and keeps your soil happily full of nutrients before next year’s planting season. Needless to say, make sure to remove any candles, wax, or foil beforehand. Here are three blogs that will give you tips on what to do with your pumpkin, once the ghouls and goblins have left. 1.
