Kitchen scraps, recyclable furnishings, and yard debris are three things that are acceptable additions to a compost bin, container, heap, pile, or pit. The above-mentioned items need to be carbon- or nitrogen-rich. They also will have to be manageable in size for being carried and decomposing within a year.
Many people have a compost heap and use it to help things grow in their gardens.
compost and fertilizer
the things that go in a compost heap are a variety of things, don't put food in, or moist things, use brown items such as soil, manure and green items such as vegetable waste. also put in lime, because the alkali from the lime will counter the acid which is made from decomposing the items of the compost heap. make sure to put extra soil in aswell because that is where the organisms are that make the compost heap work. :)
== If the farmer combined 2 compost heaps with 3 others, then this will result in one big heap. If our farmer combined 2 compost heaps into 3 others, then he'll have three. This one is more a question dealing with language and the use of words, or is a riddle or poser.
Fruits and vegetables are the crops which grow in compost. Crops benefit from soil amendments, fertilizers, and mulches. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost serves all three purposes.
Yes, hairs can be amongst mushrooms from cultivation in compost. The hairs may be the delicate, filament-like, tiny roots called mycelium. They also may be mold since compost-grown mushrooms must not remain in compost longer than three weeks.
It changes every day. :)
A compost pile is compost in a pile or heap. a compost pit is compost in a pit or hole in the ground.
It's a good idea to stir things up every week. It will help get things moving in the decomposition, and air it out a bit. If the compost is too wet, add some dry leafs.
Yes, non-organic things in compost can hurt organic gardens. Compost is the end product of the decomposition of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus. Non-organic matter will not break down with organic inputs and even will produce toxic environments for animals and plants in some cases.
Generally you'd expect a compost heap to be about three feet across and two or three feet high. Much smaller than that and whatever you're composting will probably not heat up into "fast compost", but will simply decompose slowly, the way leaves decompose on a forest floor. That being said, it is perfectly legitimate to create "sheet compost" over a garden area rather than building a specific compost heap. To do that, you layer organic mulch thickly on top of whatever area you want to benefit from the compost (obviously not on top of tiny seeds or seedlings, though) and simply wait a year or more for it to break down into compost where it lies.
