Culbreth-Cobb ^“compost Heap Betty Bell « nd *■ -mds of articles have Tt: °uritt'n on the subject of bfe 'Ll and they all arrive at conclusion: compost is X one way of speeding up a process, of ^^ in ^ 0 wcek , s ° r 3 ^bat might otherwise take a J 3 deor much longer „ taste makes wates, waste , i made in haste. producing compost, almost anything goes. Aerate your heap wish, or don t. Turn it if you like it, or let it lie. Add lime, do without. Scraps, scrapings, leaves and Jitter will eventually brt ak down and become lovely soil Remember, anything you can eat - once broken down - can be used by plants. (However, if you put out meat, you will attract dogs, raccoons, rats and loxes, none of which you will want in your garden) A compost heap is ideal for the frugal and for scroungers, because whatever is free can be used Make new friends among people with chickens, horses, cows and pigeons. When you have finished with the Sunday Times, don't toss al! that newsprint in the trash, shred it up and use it on your compost heap. Corn silk, cobs, seaweed with the salt hosed off, grass clippings, sawdust (better rotten).... well, nearly anything organic will do. Pine needles, which are very acid, should perhaps be used directly on your azaleas and blueberries. The experimental gardener tries anything. If you have an old b.ender around, use it to break up peanut shells, egg shells and the oyster shells fed to chickens. The smaller the particles on your pile arc , the faster the microorganisms will break them down. Sawdust rots faster than a og will; chopped leaves decay aster than whole ones.

It must be damp, attaining the consistency of a sponge, so you would be wise to build your heap near a source of water. A pile of compost gets enormously hot (you can try measuring the inside of the pile with a candy thermometer) and earthworms cannot survive the heat; so add the worms if you will, when the pile begins to cool But the Indore method is only one of many ways to compost There are gardeners who put weeds in a plastic bag, water them, seal the bag loosely, put it in the sun, and wait a few weeks. Composting can be done inside a decaying tree stump, or in a kitchen jar with a lid, or in seven boxes in the basement, one for each day of the week. Following the method used at the N. C. Botanical Garden, you may wish to heap up a mountain of leaves, let the rain run down into it, let the sun shine on it, and, eventually, let the worms work through it. You'll get good compost that way, too. If you’re the active kind and want some cardio-pulmonary activity, quit jogging and start turning the compost pile instead. (Editor’s note: "The Compost Heap” is the third in a series of articles prepared and furnished by the N.C. Bontanical Garden and the News Bureau of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) The oldest continuously in habited city in existence is Damascus in Syria- Mrs. Michael Russell Cobb Miss Judith Anne Culbreth, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J David Culbreth formerly of Tryon, was married Saturday to Michael Russell Cobb, son of Mr. and Mrs 0.
