I am normaly in the class of pile it up and let it rot, Oak leaves take
a couple years to break down
I also have a seperate bin for fresh manure, that rots for a year.
My kitchen scraps get trench composted ~ buried between the the rows.
Got a special challange this year, I have been telling folks that they
could buy a bag of composted cow manure, lay the bag on the side, make
about a 3" hole in the center, poke a few holes in the bottom for
drainage. Put a transplant in the hole and water every week. Several
folks have used this method with great results.
One did not, the plant fried. Ergo I want to try some 6 week old hot
compost cow to check results. I will also try some brand name stuff
