it to the workshop? Try the Backyard
Composting publication. Whether you have been composting for
years or want to start a compost pile, this bulletin can help
you. It explains the basic interactions of "fast" and
"slow" composting, defines terms, and breaks raw composting
matter into categories by moisture, porosity, and nitrogen content.
Troubleshooting tips answer your questions and provide health
and safety information. Learn how to build and turn a pile, what
NOT to add, and how to use your finished compost.
