Garden tip: To make your compost pile work faster, place some soil over the leaves then mix one cola with one gallon of warm water. Pour this over the compost pile. To make every plant grow faster, mix one gallon of 3-10 or 3-13 fertilizer, one hand full of sugar and one hand full of epsom salts. This mixture is great.
