 PETER'S 12 RULES OF COMPOSTING I have been involved in the composting industry since 1989, and over the years I have developed the following twelve rules that I believe apply to nearly every situation.  "One must think like the pile – One must BECOME the pile” - Peter Moon RULE 1: START WITH THE END IN MIND With composting, it helps to have a vision of what the entire process will look like. Most of our clients use their finished compost back on their pastures or in their gardens.  Others see themselves selling their compost to cover some of their operating expenses. Still others have a dream of starting a composting business and making this their primary vocation. Whichever you choose, O2Compost can help you accomplish your goals.  With your composting system, ask yourself what type of finished product do you want to produce? Is it your objective to better manage the organic “waste” being generated on your site or do you want to also receive outside materials such ...

 Honey locust trees (2 years old) for $ 25 each or buy 10 for $ 200. Food for your chickens, goats and honey bees! Call ***3**6*0--4-8--9--2--8--3--0--* for address to the farm. Grows 2-3 feet in a year. Excellent permaculture tree for the perimeter or for the animals' fodder! The honey locust, Gleditsia triacanthos, can reach a height of 20–30 m (66–98 ft). They exhibit fast growth, but live a medium-long life span of about 120 years.[3] The leaves are pinnately compound on older trees but bipinnately compound on vigorous young trees.[2] The leaflets are 1.5–2.5 cm (0.6–1 in) (smaller on bipinnate leaves) and bright green. They turn yellow in the autumn. Honey locusts leaf out relatively late in spring, but generally slightly earlier than the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). The strongly scented cream-colored flowers appear in late spring, in clusters emerging from the base of the leaf axils. The fruit of the honey locust is a flat legume (pod) that matures in early autumn.[2]...
