Ministry of Agriculture and
Food horticulturist R. F.
Gomme. "It can be ready for
use in three month's if the heap
is forked over every couple of
weeks. And a compost heap
takes little, garden space — a 20
square foot area will do."

add about six inches of plant

Repeat this procedure until the

To enclose the heap, drive
stakes into the ground at its
corners and wrap chicken wire
around these guides. A hedge or
fence can be placed to screen it
