Lengthy article on composting, but it really tells you all you need to know. I like this man's attitude!
Don't over think it; it's just compost...heck, we're ALL just compost in the end, LOL! :)

I am impatient with compost. I always want it now! But luckly I always give in to that urge and wait!

I can’t have a compost “pile”.....so I just dig holes and “compost” stuff....breaking it up with the shovel....and then BURY it.....will my yard survive?

Great article. I don’t compost, simply because I don’t have time. We did just rake all the wheat straw out of the chicken coop... I’ve been thinking about starting a compost pile for years. Might just do it. Now... If I can just figure out how to keep those double-damned fireants out of my pile... :)

Are any of you familiar with “Lasagna Gardening”? I just received the 2nd advertisement from Rodale this year for the book. It looks interesting, but don’t think I will be spending the money for the book. Guess I will check to see if the library has it.

Yes!
Going to read this later! I need guidance in composting! The maintenance guy at the courthouse in which I work saves the grass clipping for me! So far, I’ve gotten eight big bags of freshly cut grass to start a compost pile!

Marking for reference. My mother managed to produce the best compost...she could grow anything. Sure wish I had paid more attention. And chicken manure was the prized ingredient.
