Can blood be used in a compost heap?
Yes. It has a lot of nitrogen, so it will heat up your pile and get it cooking.
How do you make a compost?
Step 1Plan your compost pile so that it is near your garden. If you do not have a garden, simply place it under a deciduous tree (one that sheds its leaves once a year) so that it gets some shade. It should also get some sun to heat up in the spring, which is why the tree must be deciduous. Place your compost pile on top of soil--not concrete, asphalt, or brick. Step 2Layer one part dry ingredients with one part moist ingredients. Moist ingredients are often called "green" in gardening parlance, meaning they contain a lot of nitrogen. These include kitchen scraps, grass clippings, and any plant matter before it has dried. Dry ingredients are called "brown," and they contain a lot of carbon. Cardboard, newspaper, and dried leaves fall into this category. Step 3Add a layer of topsoil when you have finished layering the dry and moist ingredients. This will help to heat the pile by retaining the sun's heat, which will jumpstart the aerobic decomposition process. Step 4Cover the compost pile with a black tarp to further aid in retaining the sun's heat. Compost piles do best when they are hot, because the material in them decomposes faster. The center of a compost pile is always where it is hottest. Step 5Add new ingredients to the compost pile by lifting the tarp and poking a hole into the center of the pile. Mix the new ingredients directly into the center and cover them back up with any compost you have displaced. Step 6Use a shovel or pitchfork to turn the pile once a week. This will help prevent anaerobic bacteria from forming due to lack of oxygen in the pile. Anaerobic bacteria will still decompose your compost, but they work much more slowly. They also create stinky odors and attract more pests than aerobic bacteria. Step 7Water the compost pile if it gets too dry. A compost pile should not be sopping wet, but it does require some moisture in order to decompose efficiently.

How do compost?
Any organic garbage that decomposes can be put in a compost pile. This includes vegetables, potato pealings, egg shells etc. Also leaves in the fall and grass or anything from last years garden that is going to rot or decompose can be put in a pile. After it has been sitting since last year and is well rotted you can mix it (till or spade) into your garden soil in the spring and it will be a natural free and organic fertilizer. Make sure it is well rotted though (six months to a year) or it could cause fungus and diseases for your plants and garden. A compost pile, if it has a lot of kitchen garbage can stink a bit so it is often best to have it away from the house if you can. A compost bin is anything that can hold compost. Just nail some old boards or plywood together in about a 4' x 4 cube or larger if you are more ambitious. Since it is for decomposing material it doesn't need to be anything fancy. You may want to have some kind of door in the front to make it easer to remove when needed. compost will shrink as it rots so if it is full of leaves in the fall, next spring it will be maybe 1/3 full or less. I don't know if it needs a lid or anything unless you live somewhere dry. Compost needs to stay damp if it is to rot. I live in Minnesota where it stays fairly wet so our compost bin was always open and worked just fine.

Can you put bread into compost?
As of being organic material, Yes, it can be composted. Since it is rich in proteins, the actual process of breaking this down may be helped by adding yeast to it. I would add yeast to it if I had a lot of flour to compost, but not if it was only a small amount of it.

It was from this pile that Jonathan Harker stold to escape from the land.

Why was it so hot on slaveships?
You're not familiar with how to make compost heaps are you? Bear with me, I am ignorant about specific chemistry I only know basic, so I have absolutely no clue why compost heaps light on fire but, here goes. The way you make compost, is that you gather dry leaves, twigs, and lots upon lots of poop, human or animal, and pile the leaves and twigs on top of the poop. For chemical reasons I do not understand, eventually, the compost will catch on fire. In slave ships, because no one was allowed to go to the bathroom, people just took a dump right where they were, hence, the sheer amount of fecal matter in there, with a lot of oxygen cut off, plus the wood, made it so that not just the tightly packed human bodies, but the feces were acting as "compost" and generating heat. By the way, many of the people who owned slave ships were Portuguese and American Jews. Thought I'd let you know that.
