I want to fill sinkholes with compost to enrich the soil. I filled them with leaves, now what? Do I buy soil and mix in with the leaves and add vegetable scraps from the kitchen? Do I buy sand, straw, or potting mix? Such fillings could be expensive. I'd like to fill the holes ASAP, and plant trees in them. The sinkholes often fill with water because the back yard is a wetland.
Thanks,
WG
