| Composting at Home - Recycling
the natural way saves money and improves your soil at the
same time. Composting is a process involving naturally occuring
microbes that break down organic materials like kitchen scraps,
grass clippings, leaves and wood waste into a dark rich substance
called humus - an excellent soil conditioner and fertilizer. |
| |
Composing can be done in a commercial composting
container, or by simply piling the organic wastes in a mound. |
| |
Just follow the compost recipes: |
| Materials That Should Be Composted: |
| Greens (high in nitrogen) |
Browns (high in carbon) |
manure (cow, horse, & chicken)
grass prunings
weeds
house plants
citrus rinds
vegetables
coffee grounds
coffee filters
tea bags
egg sheels |
dead leaves
straw
wood chips
bark
saw dust
newspaper (shredded)
beusg (chipped)
corn Stalks |
Materials That Should Not Be Composted: |
Bones
oil
fat
dairy
meat and fish scraps |
dog and cat waste
grease
diseased plants
weed seeds |
| The proper blending of greeen and brown materisl
allows microbes to work on breaking down the organic materials
to form compost - here are the steps: |
| 1. |
As a general rule combine 1 part green to 3
parts brown - this will help keep your compost odor free. |
| 2. |
Regular mixing or stirring of compost should take place
to ensure the air is reaching the center of the pile. |
| 3. |
Composting materials should fell moist but not soggy. Compost
should feel warm to the touch. |
| 4. |
Compost is ready for use when it looks dark and crumbly.
A test to ensure compost is finshed is to seal a small amount
in a plastic bag for 2 days - if no strong odors are released
when the bag is opened, the compost is done. |
| 5. |
Finished compost can be used as a mulch or soil nnutrient |
For
more information on backyard composting,
call Penn State Extension, 334-6271 or Environmental
Services at 337-9827.
