Would you like to cut down on your use of chemical fertilizers, and at the same time reclaim some of the garbage leaving your kitchen? Composting is one way we can benefit from our garbage. It can be used as a mulching material. When added to the topsoil it improves texture, porosity, water holding capacity; and also in- creases the organic content of the soil. Composting simply involves taking organic wastes and placing them in a soil culture. The amstruction of ,a backyard com- post heap can be simple and inexpensive. An easy method is to•take the bottom out of a large garbage am, drill some side holes for ventilation and start placing compost inside. The cover will keep pests away and will also contain the heat. Heat is pro- duced as the garbage de- composes. This heat should be amtained, -because it helps keep the natural_organisms function- iong, which helps to decompose the waste.., Add compost materials as they become available. Do. not add flick layers of finely- ground materials such as saWduSt, which packs tightly and prevents It is also a good idea to place a layer of soil or manure between ,the layers of garbage about every 8 inches. This will increase the bacteria count and • speed up decomposition. Keep the compost moist, but not soggy. If possible kirk over, the pile every four or live flays to speed. up decomposit- ion. ' Items to compost include kitchen garbage, peanut and nut shells, pet wastes, barbecue grill residues, lea,ves, garden wastes, and grass' clippings. Ybur 'compost heap should be located in a sunny, breezy corner —of your backyard or garden. Make sure it is well away from water ways or wells, and it is at least one foot above the water table.
