Easy Compost Recipe
⊷ Choose a 4x8 foot area, preferably shaded, where water does not
collect when it rains
⊷ Cover half the area with a 6-inch layer of leaves. Water
thoroughly
⊷ Add a 2-inch layer of grass clippings and any fruit/vegetable
scraps. (You may also use cottonseed meal or coffee grounds)
⊷ Mix this layer into the layer below and re-water
⊷ Top with another 2-inch layer of leaves
⊷ Repeat steps 3 through 5 as ingredients are available. (Note that
the top layer of the pile should be at least 4 inches of leaves
covering all food materials). Build the pile to 3 feet high if
possible.
*Remember to turn your pile every two weeks, adding water as you go.
