organically rich soil, which provides the most optimal growing conditions for plants. Essentially, it involves intentionally guiding the breakdown and decomposition of organic matter over time, until it becomes a nutrient-dense and usable soil.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What composting enables us to do is keep and repurpose the plentiful resources already inherent within the boundaries of our own land.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sadly though, many people in Western society do not understand the value of these free resources. For example, in the fall we often rake up our leaves, branches, and other valuable yard elements. After this, we gather the yard waste into bags, and set it out on the curb for trash pickup. Later, when spring arrives, we head out to our local garden center and buy bags of fresh compost mound for our garden.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This silly and wasteful habit likely stems from an ingrained cultural obsession with perfectly manicured lawns. At the very least, we have a desire to conform with cultural norms, as our neighbors might look at us sideways if we fail to rake up all those autumn leaves in our yard, and perpetually maintain a spotless carpet of green. Our modern practice of discarding plant waste is anchored in ignorance. Nobody stops to think about where soil comes from or how illogical it is to throw out our yard\u2019s waste.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

is rich, moist, and black? This is because the trees living there are permitted to continually rain down leaves, branches, and twigs onto the forest floor. No one comes by to rake up this \u201cmess\u201d made by the trees. Squirrels, birds, and other tree-dwelling animals also make frequent contributions, by way of their droppings.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, everything in the forest collaborates in the natural building of soil. From fungi to ground cover to shrubbery, a diversity of nutrients is allowed to collect upon the forest floor. The end result is an ideal soil composition for growing plants.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We would do well to let nature be our teacher, as all these constituents do this harmoniously. Layer by layer and from season to season, the forest regularly adds fresh layers of mulch, which compost in place. We too can compost this way. In permaculture, we call this compost method \u2018Sheet Mulching\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As farmers or producers of our own food, we too want to keep all of this natural fertility on-site and use it for the nourishing of our own plants.

Now a good compost heap will often get warm enough to kill these seeds, but it\u2019s best to be sure.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can use a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07GYSG79X\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B07GYSG79X&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAIBX4MGJBG42TO3NQ&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bestprodtag116668-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> compost thermometer<\/a> to test the internal temperature of your pile. Compost temperatures vary between 141\u00b0 F to 155\u00b0 F (61\u00b0 C to 69\u00b0 C), but an internal temperature of 145\u00b0 F (63\u00b0C) is ideal. Also, the larger the pile, the hotter it can get.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, it should be noted that some noxious seeds can survive up to 160\u00b0 F (71\u00b0 C). Therefore, to kill off undesirable seeds and roots you can store them in black plastic bags and let them bake in the sun for a few weeks. Nevertheless, if you\u2019ve come across particularly disagreeable seeds, and you don\u2019t want to take the risk, it may be best to burn or discard them outright.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b897df3 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Composting is the art and science of creating organically rich soil, which provides optimal growing conditions for plants. It involves intentionally guiding the breakdown and decomposition of organic matter over time, until it becomes a nutrient-dense and usable soil. Composting enables us to keep and repurpose the plentiful resources already inherent within the boundaries of our own land, but many people in Western society do not understand the value of these free resources. The soil of a wild forest is rich, moist, and black due to the trees being allowed to rain down leaves, branches, and twigs. Squirrels, birds, and other tree-dwelling animals also contribute to the natural building of soil.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In permaculture, we call this compost method &#8216;Sheet Mulching&#8217;. As farmers or producers of our own food, we should keep all of this natural fertility on-site and use it for the nourishing of our own plants. Organic matter should go into a compost pile, such as crushed eggshells, banana peels, coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit scraps, spoiled leftovers, animal fat and bones, and natural food packaging. The most important details are that organic scraps will always provide a superior soil, and that compost material can be gained from friends, neighbors, and local businesses. When dealing with common weeds, grass, or thorn plants, it is important to destroy the seeds and roots.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

temperature of 145\u00b0 F (63\u00b0C) is ideal. Additionally, some noxious seeds can survive up to 160\u00b0 F (71\u00b0 C). To kill off undesirable seeds and roots, it is best to burn or discard them outright. To design a compost pile, people aim for a pile that is between 3 to 6 feet in diameter, but ultimately the size will depend upon what your garden or farm needs to thrive. Recycled materials, like wood pallets, can be used to construct a container to house compost, or a more lavish container to hold and conceal it.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Place your compost pile in a location where it won&#8217;t block or intrude upon scenic views, preferably on the side of a shed or garage that faces away from the main house. There are two ways to organize your compost: one large pile of compost that is mixed and blended often, and a progression of compost bins where each one is at a later stage of decomposition than the one before it. Turn and mix your compost every couple of weeks to make sure it is breaking down evenly and to help oxygenate the soil. Composting is an important part of sustainable gardening and farming, as it helps to facilitate the breakdown of organic matter and draw beneficial microbes. It also provides plants with their own expertly mixed elixir of life and can be done with the help of chickens and wildlife.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For larger compost piles, it is important to invest in equipment and machinery to make the job easier, such as a tractor, telehandler, or excavator. The benefits of composting are numerous, such as moisture capture and increased microbe biodiversity, and regularly adding compost to plant beds will ensure they reach their fullest potential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d73cdf8 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget
