Composting Termed Way
Of Reducing Pollution
If more homeowners would
leain the ail of ‘composting",
theic would be considerably
less trash for municipalities to
collect and dispose of, says a
Univeisity of Maiyland hoili
cultunsl
Each day housewives throw
into gaibage bags tons of fiuit
and vegetable scraps Each ycai
trash collectors aie faced with
the pioblem of discaidmg tons
of leaves and grass clippings oi
other organic wastes collected
by homeowners
Dr Fiancis R Gouin, exten
sion hoiticultunst, says each
homeowner can play an impoi
tant pait in reducing his con
tribution to the national pollu
tion problem.
If homeowneis would learn
to compost these oi ganic wastes,
there would be significantly
less trash to collect and dis
pose of, and this means that
municipalities could concen
trate their effoits towaid moie
profitable community goals
Composting is not difficult,
he says, and requires little time
and space All you need is an
area no laiger than four squaie
feet The compost may be made
in a pit dug into the giound or
on the suiface with an en
closuie of old snowfence or
second-hand building matenals
To build a compost, put a 10
to 12 inch layer of oigamc mat
ter (such as leaves, twigs, glass
clippings, old house plants or
cut flowers, trimmings from
fruits and vegetables and wood
ashes from your fneplace) in
