NANIMA’S GREEN FINGERS

Compost heap Compost is soil made out of things that used to be alive. Plants love it.. Air , Water Garden waste, Kitchen waste Manure are the ingredients for a compost heap. Compost needs air, don’t enclose it in an airtight container. Kitchen waste makes great compost. Anything you normally put in the garbage can go into the compost instead. Keep a container in your kitchen and dump it into the compost every day. Good materials include : peels and rinds , egg shells , fruit and vegetable trimmings, leftovers, coffee grounds and stale bread. Avoid meats and sweets and greasy foods because they attract pests. Put your garden waste in to your compost. Grass clippings , leaves and weeds are good (no grass runners).Include some ordinary soil. Good manure comes from chickens, cows , horses , sheep and goat (not dogs or meat eating animals). Water your compost once a week. http://www.ecosystems.co.za/composting.html
