I've recently bought a house and there's a LOT of work to be done in the back garden to get things ready for my purposes. Little by little I'm clearing away dead stuff and overgrown bushes... and oh god so much of it has thorns. but I'll persevere.

(But if anyone has a brand or type of garden glove they like for dealing with thorny plants, I'm all ears.)

I'm also curious what you all would do with all of the garden waste this generates? I have a bin I can put garden waste in, but before I start binning the clippings and such, I want to be sure they can't be used. I have started a compost pile that desperately needs more browns, but with regards to the greens it's getting quite full!

Great advice! Just would like to add that I'd be careful with putting stuff like dryer lint in compost, as these may contain micro plastic fibers, depending on the material of your clothes of course.
