Turning things over

Now that we've spread all the compost out on the garden, just as President George W. Bush has spread his compost of fear all over America, it's time to turn it into the soil. Ta Da! The Troy-bilt 'Pony' Roto tiller-power composter.

This bad boy 'rear-tiller' (as opposed to those wimpy 'front-tiller' models you rent) makes short work of things. It's self-propelled, both forward and reverse, and really prepares the ground for next spring. In Washington, DC, they'll be ready to go in January!

Do I even need to point out that in LipsYard, we've nicknamed our Troy-bilt "the Democratic party?" (Maybe I should consider painting it Blue)

Spreading compost

Here in the yard on the left, we use a 6 tine pitch fork to spread compost on the garden.

The compost is made up of leaves, grass clippings, and plant trimmings. Soon we'll turn it into the ground to fortify the soil for next season.

On the campaign trail, the Republicans use President George W. Bush to spread the compost of fear; “However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses.” (Oct. 30 in a speech in Statesboro, Georgia)

Vote on November 7 and give America back to the people!
