tops and peelings, dry leaves and other 
vegetable matter for a rich source of humus 
and plant food. 
Make a pit or bin and throw the compost 
material into it, add a sprinkling of pack- 
aged compost maker and 2 inches of soil to 
each foot of vegetable matter. Repeat until 
pile is 3 or 4 feet deep. Keep moist to pro- 
mote bacterial action. 
In about 6 months the compost will be 
ready to use. Spread it on the garden as 
you would barnyard manure. Used with 
peat moss and commercial fertilizer, com- 
post is of a really important aid to good 
gardening.

SOME TIPS ON WINDOW BOXES 
“ay B\ 
ah 
Window boxes are a form of “house 
plant” with the difference that varied forms 
of plant material are used in the same win- 
dow box, while house plants usually are by 
Son’ Jorget 
the Compost Pile 
Compost your lawn clippings, vegetable 
themselves. The window box is often a 
“community’’ of plant material. See that 
what you put in the community is congenial 
to the other members in its requirements for 
water, food, light, type of soil, etc. Don’t 
put plants requiring lots of moisture and 
fertilizer into the same window box with 
“500r soil” or “scanty water” types of plant. 
Don’t put shade-loving plants into the same 
window box with sun-loving plants. If your 
window box or planter is indoors, treat it as 
a group of house plants; if it’s outside treat 
it as a portable outdoor garden. Always 
remember, it is a crowded community and 
will need regular supply of good liquid fer- 
tilizer.
