Compost Making
lis Fall Chore

Vegetable gardeners can use this
of-season period to good advan-
tage by preparing compost heaps
F. H. Scott, Virginia vegetable
garden specialist. says composts
are an excellent source Of humus
rotted organic matter b. fol
garden soils.
Almost any plant refuse that is
not diseased can be used in MAX
ing compost heaps. Leaves, grass
clippings, flower and vegetable
plant refuse are possible materials
1t is not necessary to follow q
definite formula in making a COM
post heap. AS materials become
available, they can be put in lay
Iers on the ground, keeping the
top of the pile somewhat concave
so it will catch water.
The compost should be thorough
ly rotted before it is applied tt
the garden. Turning and mixing
the compost will improve its
quality.
When the compost is ready fol
use. it is applied by spreading II
on the garden and working 1t into
the soil.
