Right! And the key is to use the compost. Too many well-intentioned
folks start a compost pile, feeling like they're making a difference,
but then the pile just gets added to and not tended or utilized. So
it's important to make the full commitment with the goal of
eventually returning those nutrients back to the Earth.

One other note: As Erin posted, carbon/charcoal from wood stoves also
works with compost. Sincethere isa big pile from last Winter, lately
I just take and mix compost with it. When that pile is mature, it
simply gets spread out as needed.
There is no one right way to do composting. Everyone will have their
own version. The bottom line is recycling back to the soil what is
necessary to sustain our gardens and life itself as we know it.
