10/5/2010 - A Compost Primer: |
Most gardeners and landscapers will agree almost un mously that the single b thing you can do y lawn is to add compost. Good, org c compost can remedy almost any problem you have with y soil. If you soil is too acidic, adding compost will help neutralize it and bring it back to a proper pH level. If y soil is too alkaline, ditto! Adding compost will help balance the alkalinity in the soil. If you live in an area with a lot of heavy clay, adding compost will help loosen and aerate the soil. If you live in a coastal or southern area with a lot of sand, adding compost will help bind it together. Soil lacking nutrients? Add compost to add new life to overworked soil.
So how do you make compost? It's easier than you can imagine and cheaper than anything else you will do. How cheap? How about free! All composting is, is the natural decomposition of org c matter. Walk through a dense  and take a deep handful of soil from under y feet. Notice how black and rich it is. It didn't get that way from fertilizers or manure. It got that way from all the decomposing org c matter. A  takes care of itself by recycling. It recycles every leaf, branch, berry, and bush. It does this quite simply. All the org c and living matter in the  decomposes into compost which feeds the existing plants (and some mals!).
In the  , when leaves fall from the trees, they all gather on the  floor. In storms, branches may fall, as well as entire trees. This creates layers of org c matter on the  floor. Eventually it rains adding fuel to the mixture. The rain aids the microbes that begin to eat the org c matter, eventually turning it into the rich, thick carpet you see on the  floor. This compost feeds the living trees and other plants providing nutrients that rival the b fertilizers.
You can emulate the  by creating y own compost. Avoid st bought compost, especially those made from manure. There's nothing natural about spreading rotted and decomposed cow feces on y lawn or garden. It's actually pretty gross! Especially considering the number of chemicals and steroids that are given to cattle and cows in the United States. If you must purchase or acquire compost from somewhere else, call y local mu ipal office. Many mu ipalities have their own composting facilities and they give away the compost to their residents free! In township, example, all the leaves that are gathered in the fall from the local streets, are mulched up and composted in a huge field. In a year or two, once the leaves have thoroughly composted, we are permitted to haul away as much compost as we like! The only catch is that we must load it selves, but this is a small price to pay free, org c mulch.

If you live in a coastal or southern area with a lot of sand, adding compost will help bind it together. Soil lacking nutrients? Add compost to add new life to overworked soil.
So how do you make compost? It's easier than you can imagine and cheaper than anything else you will do. How cheap? How about free! All composting is, is the natural decomposition of organic matter. Walk through a dense forest and take a deep handful of soil from under y feet. Notice how black and rich it is. It didn't get that way from fertilizers or manure. It got that way from the decomposing organic matter. A forest takes care of itself by recycling. It recycles every leaf, branch, berry, and bush. It does this quite simply. All the organic and living matter in the forest decomposes into compost which feeds the existing plants (and some animals!).
In the forest, when leaves f from the trees, they gather on the forest floor. In storms, branches may f , as well as entire trees. This creates layers of organic matter on the forest floor. Eventu y it rains adding fuel to the mixture. The rain aids the microbes that begin to eat the organic matter, eventu y turning it into the rich, thick carpet you see on the forest floor. This compost feeds the living trees and other plants providing nutrients that rival the best fertilizers.
You can emulate the forest by creating y own compost. Avoid store bought compost, especi y those made from manure. There's nothing natural about spreading rotted and decomposed cow feces on y lawn or garden. It's actu y pretty gross! Especi y considering the number of chemicals and steroids that are given to cattle and cows in the United States. If you must purchase or acquire compost from somewhere else, c y local municipal office. Many municipalities have their own composting facilities and they give away the compost to their residents for free! In township, for example, the leaves that are gathered in the f from the local streets, are mulched up and composted in a huge field. In a year or two, once the leaves have thoroughly composted, we are permitted to haul away as much compost as we like! The only catch is that we must load it selves, but this is a sm price to pay for free, organic mulch.

Most gardeners and landscapers will agree almost unanimously t the single b thing you can do for y lawn is to add compost. Good, orga compost can remedy almost any problem you have with y soil. If you soil is too acidic, adding compost will help neutralize it and bring it back to a proper pH level. If y soil is too alkaline, ditto! Adding compost will help balance the alkalinity in the soil. If you live in an area with a lot of heavy clay, adding compost will help loosen and aerate the soil.
