We layer each new load brought in with an alternating load of green or brown material.
While we do turn and work the material regularrly with our tractor, we remember that diesel is expensive and nature can do much of this on it's own.
A compost heap with adequate water, proper aeration and lots of materials can make the best rich humus for your gardens. Or you can just focus on making good dirt and not sending these materials to the landfill. We are "pro" anything we can recycle!
Good Compost Matter:
vegetable matter
beverages
dryer lint
hair
eggshells
leaves
grass clippings
coffee grounds
Not So Good:
Oil (synthetic or natural)
animal fat
cat/dog droppings
meat
bones
silverware
plastic
