How Compost Helps Garden Grow By Sheila and Allan Swenson
Leaves and debris can be turned into compost to enrich beds, vegetables and shrubs. Build two pits and alternate four inch layers with soil or peat, then add water and turn every few weeks. Include fertilizer and lime as soil tests indicate, and avoid diseased material. Earthworms speed decomposition and provide fishing worms. A ton of compost in a four foot square saves dollars and improves gardens this year.
