[QUOTE="bowich, post: 643591, member: 10042"] Poop Lasagna! Start with a layer of CARBON, un-eaten hay or bedding or fallen leaves in the pasture, Then layer of NITROGEN, poo (chopped with a rake or shovel) or green clippings, then about 2 inches of crappy South Texas clay soil, then sprinkle in kitchen scraps and coffee grounds/filters. Each time I spread a layer, I wet it down. Repeat for an ideal 5ft x 5ft x 5ft pile. Oxygen can get into that sized pile without constant turning. Top it with a good layer of hay to keep the moisture in. I try to keep a 3:1 ratio of carbon and nitrogen. (Carbon is the BROWN - leaves/hay and Nitrogen is the POO.) It'll start the magic on it's own. I'll wet it every two weeks for 2 months. Then I'll turn it when I start another pile (actually move that pile and start the new one where that one was.) I have 5 piles in various stages for my landscaping to enjoy throughout the Summer. [/QUOTE]
