Compost and Mulch

The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 1,620/(depth of the mulch, in inches)

Access, convenience, and cost are reasons why composting is better than recycling. Composting may be a less labor-intensive and more cost-effective option than recycling of some materials. Composting works particularly well with carbon- or nitrogen-rich, small-sized organic materials whereas recycling generally handles inorganic and larger-sized items quite well.

BlaBla thats a silly question !!!!! the answer NO

There are two main methods of composting: Aerobic and anaerobic. Both involve the microrganic rotting of organic material such as leaves, food, or faeces in a moist environment. Anaerobic composting can incorporate microrganisms that give off an unpleasant odour. For this reason aerobic composting is favoured by some people.

Compost bins need the holes to provide oxygen, to help prevent the compost from molding or rotting in an anaerobic way.

Alternatively, anaerobic compost bins can be used that have tight fitting lids so odours cannot escape.

Mixing topsoil and mulch can hinder the growth of plants because the mulch can create a barrier that prevents water and nutrients from reaching the soil. Additionally, mulch may decompose at different rates than topsoil, leading to uneven soil quality and structure over time. It’s generally more effective to use mulch as a surface cover to retain moisture and suppress weeds, rather than mixing it into the soil. Keeping them separate allows each to fulfill its role effectively.

No, grass cannot be mowed after applying compost. The lawn must be raked so that the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost becomes integrated almost invisibly, but equally, prefatory to a 15- to 20-minute watering. Mowing schedules need to wait seven to eight days.

Raking and watering are actions to take after applying compost to a lawn. The compost has to be raked evenly and almost invisibly into the lawn from a 0.25-inch (0.64-centimeter) yard-wide layering. It then may be watered for 15 to 20 minutes so that the compost can break down and release nutrients before resumption of weekly mowing schedules seven to eight days later.

Soil amendments, fertilizers, mulches, and rejuvenators are the uses that farmers have for compost. Compost is the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic material that results from the human-intervened or Mother Nature-guided breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables. It occupies a particularly important place on organic farms where inputs and resources must be local, natural, and on-site.

The cost of a pallet of pine bark mulch typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on factors such as location, supplier, and the quality of the mulch. Prices may vary based on regional availability and whether the mulch is bagged or sold in bulk. Additionally, delivery fees can add to the overall cost. It's always a good idea to check with local suppliers for the most accurate pricing.

Once a week is the frequency with which compost heaps need to be turned. The micro-organisms that break down carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost need air to survive and for proper temperature levels to be maintained. The turning of the layers works best when drier parts are moistened to the consistency of a wrung-out sponge and moved to the center weekly, beginning seven to 14 days after the composting process is begun.

Yes, expired yeast is good for compost. It still has living micro-organisms that can contribute to the breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich humus. It also may support the proliferation of beneficial bacteria already in the compost container, heap, pile or pit.

Yes, yes, yes.

Ever since the terrorist incident from 2003 when an italian sold poisioned compost to farmers and killed crops, the government has required all those selling worm compost to get a permit. This only apples in california though.

Only that it's true.... Its no rumour... What a load of BS. She managed to get pregnant without Bills help, just some assistance from her partner. Get a life.

Composting doesn't require compost bins. But bins keep compostable materials from getting too wind-blown, and too wet. Specifically, the moisture level of compostable materials needs to be on par with a wrung out sponge. Compostable materials need to be turned regularly. In fact, the more often the turning, the quicker the breakdown, the sooner the end product. It's easier to turn the layers in a bin than in a pile. And, in the case of worm composting, red wigglers prefer the confined space and the closed covers.

Destruction of pathogens and anticipation of the appropriate mesophilic and thermophilic decomposers in the breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus are the explanations of the relationship between compost heaps and composting temperatures. The National Organic Program in the United States of America considers 15 days at temperatures of 131 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit (55 to 76.7 degrees Celsius) necessary for proper decomposition. Next to maintenance of proper temperature ranges for hot composting will be attention to proper moisture and ventilation levels by keeping compostables as moist as a wrung-out sponge and by turning layers as much as five times during the above-mentioned 15 days.

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.

A ratio of 30:1 in terms of carbon- and nitrogen-rich compostable materials and of 1:1:1 in the case of soil amendments is the way in which compost should be mixed. Compostable materials must be divided into an equal number of alternating layers -- in which carbon-rich contributions will be thicker than nitrogen -- for composting piles and into one-third the total amount for soil amendments.

You take a hose and spray water

Room temperature water is the way to make a compost disc expand. The production in question mixes base nutrients with natural coir to support seed growth. It needs to be submerged in a warm water-filled bowl for expansion to take place prefatory to seed removal for sowing.
