The proper making of compost is done by adding water and turning frequently to have an aerobic environment for the breakdown of the materials. We want an aerobic process throughout the whole time the compost is being made. Compost will turn out to be a crumbly, earthy smelling good substance when it is finished that will be added to soil. IT increases the organic content and helps replenish soil and old container mixes for new nutrients in the growing season.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-3-1ccbedd\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-dbd80ae6a7fde0049aad\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-dbd80ae6a7fde0049aad\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-dbd80ae6a7fde0049aad\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">How much compost should I use in my garden?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-dbd80ae6a7fde0049aad\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-3-1ccbedd\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a7fde0049aad\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\"> It is recommended that your compost be spread on the surface of the soil and mixing it in shallowly, this mimicks nature's method of dropping leaves and residue on the surface. Earthworms and other soil critters will mix it in but also you can take a rake or 3 tine cultivator and mix it in shallowly. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\"> You really want the compost where the roots will be growing, so adding it to the whole garden may not be necessary, such as putting it in a walkway. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\"> 1-2\" of compost on the surface is enough, more is not always better! If you are starting with pure sand, like many of us are- adding more will be beneficial- but only up to say, 1\/3 compost in the first year or two. Once you get your organic material content up it is no longer necessary to do this much every year. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\"> 1 cubic foot of compost will cover a 12 foot square area 1\" deep. That would be a 3x4' square. Many garden beds are 3' wide, so if you want your 3x8 bed to have 1\" of compost that would be 2 cubic feet of compost needed, and so on. If your row is 12\" wide and 8 feet long, 1 cubic foot of compost would give you 1\" along the whole row. Measurements do not need to be exact here.<\/span><\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-4-1ccbedd\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-da574526a7fde0049aad\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-da574526a7fde0049aad\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-da574526a7fde0049aad\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Are the bags biodegradable or compostable?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-da574526a7fde0049aad\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-4-1ccbedd\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a7fde0049aad\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\">Yes and No..... The bags are breathable and can be used for planting in, but they will disintegrate within one season, so by the end of summer they will be fragile and must be discarded. Although they do break down, they will crumble into tiny bits of plastic, and plastic must be dealt with in a different method than normal composting. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\"> I like to use Mother Dirt Activated Compost as is, in the bags to plant my potatoes, and I get a nice amount of potatoes which can be easily tipped over and picked out simply from the compost. I would use this mix in a raised bed next year, or sprinkle on the lawn, or use in a pot for flowers, but it is best to rotate soil so you avoid plant diseases that tend to multiply when the same plants are grown year after year in the same soil. <\/span><\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-5-1ccbedd\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-26262c56a7fde0049aad\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-26262c56a7fde0049aad\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-26262c56a7fde0049aad\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Are there Jumping Worms in your compost?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-26262c56a7fde0049aad\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-5-1ccbedd\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a7fde0049aad\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\">SHORT ANSWER -NO!<\/span><\/p><p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\">We are taking precautions to prevent this from happening and so far in our location there are none reported.

Compost is broken down organic materials that blend in with soil to create an suitable environment where the roots grow. Healthy soil needs stable organic matter which gives a home to multitudes of good bacteria, protozoans, organisms, &amp; creatures that should be living in it. Without these soil citizens, plants can't get the nutrition they need to build a great tasting vegetable or fruit, or flower. It might look good, but what does it taste like? What disease does that plant have if you are using chemicals to feed your plants? <\/span><\/p><p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\"> By supplementing our soil with stable mature compost, we increase the organic content of the soil which adds places for water to be stored, particles of material whith microbes working to benefit our plants.<\/span><\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-7-1ccbedd\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-882b2496a7fde0049aad\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-882b2496a7fde0049aad\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-882b2496a7fde0049aad\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">What is Vermicast?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-882b2496a7fde0049aad\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-7-1ccbedd\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a7fde0049aad\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p class=\"I0kxX k6as0 _1JW6K\"><span class=\"HXJuz\">Vermicast, also called worm castings is a mixture of earthworm castings and uneaten bedding and feedstock harvested from worm beds.
