Re: [Hot Compost!] // Manures and other questions

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Tammy, you gave some great information there on compost.  Brava to you.  I 
love to compost and have a garden tractor/mower that bins all my clippings.  
When I have too many clippings and am running out of browns to mix with it I 
take my old newspapers and shred them and mix with the greens.  It takes a 
bit to break down but I can say that after 2 years of composting ( that is 
all the experience I have) I have some great compost.  When I moved in 
October 1999 I screened as much compost as I could and brought most of it 
with me.  After I arrived here I built a bed for my King Alfred tulips and 
planted them in pure compost.  They are starting to peek above ground now and 
seem very happy and healthy.  I have been sick with this nasty flu since 
before the turning of the year and went into town yesterday to get some fence 
staples and some 3/5 inch galvanized nails so I can build the beds for the 
broccoli and cabbage.  I am running out of bed building materials here and 
can't afford to buy more at the present time so will do square foot on the 
flat ground where I have to.  I am really looking forward to my first year 
here.  

Keep growing
Lisa
