Why Compost? |
|
Will Rogers once said during the dust bowl era, “They’re making more people every day—but they ain’t making any more dirt”. What takes nature thousands of years to build, mankind can destroy in a just a few. However, we can now rebuild depleted soil in just a few years with the addition of compost made from the discarded organic refuse from our own trash stream. Almost 33% of this nations trash is considered to be organic, and could be composted, yet it still winds up in landfills. This is a waste of a valuable resource which could be used to naturally replenish the soil without using chemicals. Here on Campagnola Farms, we collect the kitchen waste from several local households for use as compost. We mix it into our leaf/grass clipping piles, allowing the chickens to peck through it first, for any goodies they might enjoy. When it’s ready, we till it into our garden soil with the help of “Bessy”, our Ford 1952 8N Tractor. If you would like to have your compost picked up for use on our farm, the following rates apply:
