to that described above. The sod
strips are placed in layers upside
down On the pile, and are alter
mated with a layer of cattle ma
nure. Usually it will take a year
or two before the sod pile will be
sufficiently decomposed for use in
the garden. Frequent watering
will hasten decomposition. The pile
should be turned once in the pro-
cess of decomposition before using
for compost.
Every gardener should have a
compost pile to help maintain the
organic matter and humus supply

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES u"mruuuMrnIUuiI
Making Compost For the Garden
A most unfortunate, wasteful
fall garden practice is burning of
autumn leaves. This is one of the
most desirable substances to in
clude in compost piles. Decom-
posed plant matter is an excellent
substance for use in increasing
the organic matter content of our
soils. Composted soils are easier to
work, they retain soil moisture
better, and plant food elements are
retained in the upper soil layers
more readily. Soils with plenty of
organic matter are better aerated
and for that reason support plant
life better.
Organic matter is the basis of
the preparation of a compost pile.
Usually a spot is selected on the
edge of the garden. If plenty of
room is available a pit compost
pile may be prepared. The pit may
be dug six or eight inches in
depth. The size of the compost pile
will depend on the amount of or
ganic matter that a be used in
the garden. The pile should be
about three or four feet high.
Use fallen leaves, waste garden
products or any other organic ma
terial place layers of organic mat
ter to a depth of six inches, and
over this scatter a couple inches of
cattle manure. In addition, place
a two-inch layer of good topsoil
over this. Fertilize this topsoil
with a phosphate fertilizer. Repeat
these layers until the desired
height is reached. Cut through the
pile and mix the substance thor
oughly two or three times during
the growing season. If the weather
is dry the pile should be wetted
down several times to increase de-
composition.
There are other methods of pre-
compost piles. Some may
compost against a brick house or
garage or may build an enclosure
of bricks or stone to retain the
compost mixture.
Sod makes excellent compost
material. In the past. many green
housemen have used sod compost
for their potting soils. A sod COM
post is built in a similar manner
