Worm Castings
Tell me what's this stuff called compost
how to make it, what's it for
The object of compilation
is to mimic what's on a forest floor
So gather everything that's ever had a life
Vegie peel, dry leaves add bit of fresh green grass
and if you have it you can add some human hair
Two more ingredients essential ingredients,
these must be made available, clean water and fresh air
In the air is oxygen a force of energy for almost everything that exists
It provides a source of combustion, occurs inside the cell
These microscopic organisms make up all the animals
and every plant as well
There is a special recipe ,to which you must refer
Dry waste to green waste has a ratio five to one
Follow these directions and what will surely start,
heating of the compost heap, means the process has begun
Maybe twenty days or a month or two
a suggested time frame for the final outcome
Your magic little spell. it has now been spun
At last the final product, now the heating has died down
Black plasticity feels spongy, when squeezed within the hand
It's ready for a compost tea
or spread directly on the land
Footnote; There are three methods I use to make compost:
1.The Johnson/Su bioreactor. 2. Worm farm 3.Compost heap
