son was learning to read, he made a comment that sticks with me to this day. Phil was at that age when the numbers of pages in a book reflect a difficulty of the subject. So, he took great interest in a four-inch-thick, 500 page monster of a book about composting I had just rescued from a garage sale. "What’s that book abouL Dad?” he asked, as I thumbed through the pages. “Composting," I replied, thinking that many questions would follow. “Wow, composting really must be complicated if they had to write that big book about it!” he responded. And that's when it hit me. In a few innocent words, Phil had expressed how most people feel: that compost is a difficult process. It's really not.that complicated. Compost is notfiing more than organized rot. ' It happens all the time in nature. Take a walk through the forest'and look at that black layer of soil immediately below the fallen leaves. That’s compost! When people compost organic materials, all they are doing is accelerating the rotting process. Why do people think composting is difficult? In part, it might be some of the "magical properties” that some gardeners have assigned it. Ever watch one of those TV garden gurus? Here’s a simple recipe for making compost that works for many people. Give it a try this fall on your leaves. Ingredients: 3 parts brown material (dry leaves, chipped twigs,' dry grass, sawdust); 2 parts green material (fresh grass clippings, garden trimmings, weeds); a dash of soil. * 1) Mix these ingredients into a bin or pile. Generally, piles four feet thick or larger tend to heat up better than smaller piles. 2) Keep the piles moisL but not dripping wet. If you can squeeze water out of a handful of material, it is too wet. 3) The pile should warm up within a week. If it does not, add more green materials, mix thoroughly and remoisten. Nitrogen fertilizers such as urea or triple 12 can be used as a substitute for green materials! The nitrogen is actually the energy source of the microbes breaking down the plant material. If the pile does not warm up, ft does not have enough energy! 4) Stir the pile occasionally when it begins to cool. Try to move the uncomposted materials on the outside of the pile to the inside, and place the composted material from the interior of the pile on the outyr portion of the pile. 5) If undesirable odors occur, add more brown materials, and mix thoroughly.
