Composting at THS Farm

Composting is a fertilizer made from leaves and twigs, grass clippings, succulent plant matter, old compost, and water. This rich fertilizer can be used to grow organic plants and is better for both the plants and the consumer because no pesticides are used. Compost contains nutrients that are essential for healthy plants and reduces the amount of water used to water the plants. To make a compost pile you have to water an area 4 feet long and 4 feet wide. Then lightly sprinkle old compost, add more water, and then add 2 inches of leaves and twigs. After that add more water, 5 inches of grass clippings, water, 5 inches of succulent plant matter and then repeat the steps until the pile is 4 feet tall.
