Composting in
Your Backyard
Almest one-third of normal household
waste is organic material that could be put to good
use as compost. By composting, you not only help reduce the
amount of garbage sent to landfill sites, but you also replenish
the nutrients in your garden’s sail. And what's good for the soil
is good for the environment!

If you've been thinking about starting your own compost pile
but aren't quite sure where to begin, it’s prabably best to start
out small. You can cither build your own compost container or
purchase a commercially made one. If you decide to build one,
it's important to remember that the compost must not be entirely
enclosed. Air must be able to circulate through the layers, and
rainwater must be able to drain freely. For small-scale compost-
ing, simply remove the bottom of a large garbage can, barrel, or
wooden hox. If possible, place the container in a sunny and airy
part of your yard.

Once the container is in place, you can start adding kitchen
and yard waste right away. For each
layer of waste, add a thin layer of moist
soil. Every two or three weeks, turn the
pile over to mix and aerate it. Remem-
ber: in order for compost to function
properly, it must be kept moist.

After one Full year, your
compost should-be ready to
use as fertilizer and soil con-
ditioner in your garden. You'll
know it's ready when it looks like rich, dark earth.

The following are some types of kitchen and yard waste that
