Compost Heap

A constructed mound of organic material and soil layers. The use of well-rotted farmyard manure, leaf-mould, grass clippings, seaweed, or similar organic material would be layered in between a sandy soil. The organic layers would typically be 150-225mm in depth, whilst soil layers would be 100-150mm in depth. The mound might be up to 2-metres in height, which would allow for adequate turning over with a tractor and bucket.
