  • Logan Citys How to Compost in Color.Pub
    How to compost at home 1) Designate a place in your yard to start a compost pile . Typically you will want to find an area that is semi-shady, dry, and well-drained. You will want to make sure your pile is located close to a water source in order to add moisture as needed to your pile. If you do not have a location next to a water source, you can always add materials that are high in moisture such as grass clippings. If you are adding a lot of kitchen scraps and grass clippings, you most likely will not need to add moisture by the means of a garden hose . 2) Figure out what type of bin, if any, you would like to use. There are many different methods to compost when it comes to choosing a bin. You may accumulate the compost material in a loose pile to choos- ing an elaborate rotational bin system. Old wood pallets work great if you opt to build one yourself. There are also places to purchase a compost bin. 3) Start adding your yard waste. In the world of composting, gardeners talk about compost material in terms of “Greens” and “Browns.” Green material is high in nitrogen and brown materials are high in carbon. A good way to tell the difference between the two is moisture content. Green materials are typically high in moisture such as grass clippings whereas Brown materials are typically dry such as leaves. Green materials is what helps speed up the decomposition process. A 25-30:1 ratio of C:N is ideal for composting.

  • The Development of Hay Harvesting Machinery in the High Hollows Of
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF HAY HARVESTING MACHINERY IN THE HIGH HALLOWS OF ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY Daniel Strake Parsley Dr. John McDaniel Anthropology 377 May 27, 1983 The development of techniques and machinery used in the harvesting of hay has been most significant in the last 100 years. Due to the rapid yet recent development it is possible to find individuals who have lived through the changes of tools and equipment needed to cut, rake, and either stack or bale hay. Each area of the country has had a different development, therefore I have concentrated my efforts to the development of hay harvesting machinery in High Hallows area in Rockbridge County. My efforts have been greatly a result of the aid of two very knowledgable local farmers: Clarence Wilhem of Denmark, Virginia and c. W. Spradlin of Stuartsville, Virginia which is just north of Roanoke. The development has gone through three distinct yet overlapping stages: (1) manual, hand operated tools, (2) horse-drawn equipment, and (3) modern, tractor operated machines. The history of hay harvesting machinery is sitting at our back doors. As shown in the many photographs of actual machinery in this area, many of the old machines have been left out to rust away. By inquiring to these two kind men, I am able to trace the entire history from the manual, hand tools to the latest modern machines of today. Ever since man began domesticating plants and animals, the need to cut grass and crops existed. The sickle has been proven to be one of the older tools known. This large semi-circular blade is still used today as the main tool in the mowing process -2- of hay and crops in some areas of the world.

Ingredients: Three to 4 or more wheelbarrows of “green” yard materials – such as grass clippings and garden debris Three to 4 or more wheelbarrows of “brown” materials –such as leaves, dry weeds, brush, and woody prunings. Vegetables and fruit scraps and coffee grounds (as available) Water Tools: Pitchfork Square-point shovel or machete (optional) Rotary lawnmower or chipper-shredder (when composting woody material or dry leaves) Water hose with spray head Compost bin (optional) Tarp, burlap, or black plastic for covering the pile and/or mixing materials (optional) Compost thermometer (optional) Directions: 1. Pick a 4-foot by 8-foot area where water does not puddle when it rains, preferably a shaded spot. 2. Chop up the gathered stalks and garden plants with shovel or machete. Chip or shred woody trimmings. 3. Cover half of the 4-foot by 8-foot area with a 6-inch layer of “brown” materials. 4.
