Various devices have been used to divert the warm air from the dryer to the inside of the house during the winter and divert it out- side the house in summer. While diverting the dryer air inside the house in the winter months con- serves energy, it can produce prob- lems.

DO NOT vent a gas dryer to the inside of the house AT ANY TIME.

Diverting an electric dryer ex- haust inside a house can increase the humidity levels considerably. The amount of humidity produced by the dryer will be directly related to the number of times the dryer is used, and the amount of clothes that are dried.

A family consisting of two or three small children may produce three to four times as much hu- midity through drying clothes, than a two-member family.

However, humidity is not the only problem; there are others. Experts are now telling us that res- idue of soap which often contains phosphates, and residve trom fabric softeners and bleach, as well

Create compost

From page 13 of focd scraps, cover the pile(s) with a wire screen. The masked bandits of the North Shore (rac- , coons) will be more than happy to } , e accept your invitation to dinner. o

The finer the material the faster it rots. You should try to shred coarser stalks and stems before adding them to the pile. For the same reason, use the lawn mower to shred leaves and, if you have a good mower, it will pick up most of the leaves for you.

To achieve the best results, put a two-inch layer of soil on top of every eight inches of packed com- postable material. The addition of a sprinkling of high nitrogen fert- tilizer will speed up the process. I prefer blood and bone meal.

Once the pile has reached max- imum height, keep it moist, turn it occasionally, amd wait for your ‘black gold.’ Work it into your flower and vegetable beds in the spring or apply as a mulch around trees and shrubs. And sow it grows.
