      Disposing of garden wastes is a science all to itself, mostly involving composting.
Deciding what plant materials to compost, what to burn, what to throw out:
- Does the material contain seeds
 - Does the material contain disease organisms
 - Does the material contain chemicals that might be harmful to compost piles
 - Will the material colonize the compost pile
 - Will the material break down in the compost pile in a reasonable amount of time
 
Other materials:
- Plastic pots
 - Fence posts, etc.
 - Wire
 - Stakes
