Still have leaf piles? Maybe it’s time to compost instead of bagging

Ag/Outdoor, News

November 15th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Mild temperatures this fall left leaves lingering on Iowa’s trees longer than normal, and after a cold, snowy weekend, the branches are now mostly bare. A predicted warm-up this week may afford the chance to rake up the last of those leaves, but if you get stuck with a pile, soil scientist Carl Rosen says it may be a great time to start composting. “I collect my leaves in the fall and I compost them through the following year,” Rosen says, “and then the following fall I’ll mix that in in the garden or the following spring before planting my vegetables.” Rosen says composting science is all about soil health, but for many that was not the original problem to be solved.

“The initial motivation however was more due to sending all those leaves to landfills,” Rosen says. Creating and maintaining a compost pile only requires a quick and easy checklist, he says, and it’s relatively simple. “Basically, water, air, oxygen and they need nutrients,” he says, “and if you have those in balance then that’s kind of the key to the composting process.” Learn more about composting at the Iowa D-N-R website:

November 15th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) – One person escaped injury but another died during a house fire Sunday night, in Des Moines. According to KCCI, a woman who was trapped inside the burning home died in the fire on the east side of the Capital City. The fire was first reported just before 6 p.m. near the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Glenbrook Drive near Union Park.

Des Moines fire Lt. Rick Thomas said the woman was sleeping on the couch when flames tore through the house. Her adult son was outside when fire crews arrived at the scene. Crews quickly tried to battle through conditions to reach the woman, but a burned out floor slowed their progress. By the time firefighters found the woman, she had already died. Her name was not immediately released.

Officials say the son wasn’t injured, and a dog was safely taken out of the home. Investigators are looking into what caused the fire.
