Organic compost is like an artificial manure, which can be mixed with manures, or not, for another great organic fertilizer for your organic garden. Compost is made with dead plant materials, table scraps, leaves, topsoil, lime, manures, water, air, and other organic materials. It should be combined, and layered in such a way that it decomposes, and combines and yields a very great organic fertilizer, or artificial manure. You do not want to create a large organic fertilizer compost pile, around one hundred square feet, and three to five feet high, with a slight dip in the middle to catch rain water is advisable. One common layering method for your organic fertilizer compost pile is first, a one foot layer of leaves, grass clipping straw, and other organic material, wet and packed down. Then spread a layer of organic fertilizer manures, four to six inches deep. Continue by adding found pounds of rock phosphates, or one quart of bone meal, and about one pound of ground limestone. Sometimes a layer of topsoil is used. Continue this process until you have reached a pile three to five feet high. Keep your organic fertilizer compost pile moist, but not too wet, and leave it be for a while. After about one month, fork it over and mix the parts to obtain a good consistency. Compost piles can take anywhere from two months to one year to be “complete” and ready as a great organic fertilizer for your organic garden. When the compost is broken down into a very consistent mixture, and no decomposed leaves or other parts can be seen, it is ready for use.
