Thanks!

I'd feel comfortable using your leaf/soil mixture now, I think.

If this is your first attempt at composting, I think you're going to become a fan. It's quite addictive, and now is the time of year to gather materials.

Try adding one of the following to your mix:
*Fresh glass clippings (free of chemicals of course)
*A 2 gallon watering can full of diluted fish fertilizer
*A bag of Shellfish Compost
*Some fresh manure. (warning: chicken manure is very high in nitrogen, so you'll have to use a lot less, than if you're using cow or horse manure)

MIX and TURN THOROUGHLY!
There's a great song that is the mantra of compost success, written by Pete Seeger, taken from the Bible and sung by the likes of The Byrds and Judy collins... it's called TURN, TURN, TURN!

I posted a link for some more help in composting .
It is a copy of the handout I use in my compost seminars.
