The compost consisting of all the vegetation accumulated from last year on 0.4 of an acre, plus grass clipping from three adjacent properties. This constitutes only about 3 cubic yards of finished compost. The vegetation is added as it is taken from the garden area and put through a chipper/shredder to make small pieces. No special efforts are taken as to layering. The rototiller makes stirring relatively easy. The material will be placed on the garden beds in the Fall.
