COMPOST

Reading posts on the list lately about manures I thought I would give you some simple fair dinkum composting recipe's that work.
 
(1)   CHICKEN MANURE    FRUIT WASTES    LEAVES
       half pound                  3LB's                     3LB's
 
(2)   COW MANURE      LAWN CLIPPINGS      STRAW
    half pound                  6LB's                        1LB's
 
 (3)  LAWN CLIPPINGS    LEAVES     FOOD WASTES
    5LB's                          2LB's             2LB's
 
Now which ever recipe you use you will need to make sure that all the ingredients are MOIST not soak,If they are dry just run the hose over them till they are damp.
Also the weights I have given you are to be kept in context i.e.; recipe 3: IF you want to make more compost maybe you could go 7.5LB + 3LB + 3LB or 10LB + 4LB +4LB.
 
Make sure the ingredients are mixed together. Then in a couple of days your heap should be hot about 3 or 4 days give your heap a toss around and then let it stand again for a week or so and then repeat.
 
Any questions e-mail me privately and I will try and help you out as much as possible.
