COMPOST HEAP

HAVE ONE IN THE GARDEN. At this season plenty of rubbish accumulates in gardens and this should be turned to the best possible account. Woody material, and that which is badly diseased, should be burned and the ashes stored in a dry place, for they are rich in potash. All material that will decay quickly—weeds, cabbage leaves, pea and bean haulm, etc., should be collected in a heap for rotting dqwn. Fallen leaves, lawn cuttings. and similar material may be added to the heap and their decay will be hastened by the application of sulphate of ammonia or one of the proprietary preparations used for the purpose. If the heap is built up in layers and each layer sprinkled over with the preparation, a first-rate fertiliser will be produced in about three months.
