It specifies the use of materials like boards, stones, or bricks to construct an enclosure, which is then filled with organic matter like dead grass, weeds, leaves, and kitchen scraps. The guide highlights the necessity of a separate pile of covering material, such as ashes, sawdust, or soil, to prevent flies. It also outlines materials to avoid, including glass, tins, paper, large sticks, and plastic bags, due to their slow decomposition rates. The document stresses the critical role of moisture management, advising watering during dry seasons to support the insects and worms responsible for decomposition, while cautioning against overwatering, which leads to mud, and underwatering, which results in mold. Composting typically takes several months, after which the compost is ready for use. The process involves turning the compost to ensure even decomposition and allowing it to mature further for a few weeks before application. The guide concludes by describing the cyclical nature of composting, encouraging the continuous refilling of the enclosure to maintain a steady supply of compost, along with managing the initial materials and the nearly ready compost.","How to make and use compost  \nEnglish Agriculture  \nTo start a compost pile, look for a shady place under a tree or alongside a wall.  \nYou also need boards. Stones or bricks may be used instead of boards.  \nTake the boards, bricks or stones and make an enclosed place under the tree or next to the wall.  \nFill it with dead grass and weeds, leaves and kitchen leftovers.  \nMake a pile next to the compost pile of, for example, ashes, sawdust or soil, to cover up the compost. This will keep the flies away.  \nDo not put in glass, tins, paper, big sticks, plastic bags, and other things that cannot decompose quickly.  \nWater the compost during the dry season. The small insects and worms that cause decomposition need humidity to work. But be careful: if there is too much water, you will only get mud and not compost. If there is not enough water, you will only have mold and waste that will not decompose well.  \nAfter a few months the compost will be ready. Take the boards away and shovel the compost to the side, so that the top layer is on the bottom and the bottom layer is on the top. Let it sit for a few weeks before using it.  \nPut the boards back and fill the enclosed place again with dead grass, weeds, leaves and kitchen leftovers. You now have three piles: one freshly started pile in the enclosed place; a pile of sawdust, ashes or soil to cover up the compost; and a pile of compost that is almost ready.","cbCaigEiOoHHiLn3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigEiOoHHiLn3","pdf",5369166,4,1,25,"English","en",105,"# How to make and use compost\n## Preparing the compost pile\n## Maintaining the compost pile\n## Using the compost","[{\"question\":\"Where should I set up a compost pile?\",\"answer\":\"It is recommended to choose a shady spot, such as under a tree or next to a wall, for your compost pile.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials should be used to construct the compost enclosure?\",\"answer\":\"You can use boards, stones, or bricks to create an enclosed space for your compost pile.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials are suitable for composting?\",\"answer\":\"Good materials for composting include dead grass, weeds, leaves, and kitchen leftovers.
