Its the ultimate recycling action! JJtate vol-nnte- Cr GOCGUpOOG ora HDO0Cd 'gjacjorn G Compost is a wonderful soil amendment with some fertilizer value. It is derived from the natural decomposition of leaves, plants, and animal manures by microorganisms. The end result of this process is a dark, crum- material bly, called compost. When applied to soil, compost increases organic earthy-smellin- g matter content, improves soil structure, and provides nutrients for plant growth. Not all composts are alike. Composts originate from a variety of sources including yard and garden trimmings, biosolids, and animal manures. Because the raw materials that go into a compost pile are varied, the quality of the resulting compost varies. Generally, if compost resembles soil, it can be used in potting mixes, as a garden soil amendment, and in turf applications. If the compost is light colored and composed of larger amounts of wood chips, bark, or straw, it should be used as a mulch. Compost improves the aeration and drainage of heavy clay soils, improves the water holding capacity of sandy soils, and increases the ability of all soils to retain nutrients. Composts also contain organic forms of plant nutrients which are released as microorganisms break down the material. Compost nutrients become available to plant roots slowly and are less likely to be lost by leaching. Some composts could be used as a mulch. Composts with a large proportion of woody materials work well because they are heavier and wont blow away from the site, tend to be lower in soluble salts, and are more porous, allowing some air and water to pass through the layer. Finished compost should look and smell earthy - even when wet. Its recommended that green, or unfinished compost not be used in large quantities around actively growing plants. During composting, several gases (e.g., ammonia) may build up to levels that are toxic to plants. These will dissipate by the time they organic material has completed the composting process. Compost quality is generally n based on particle size, of concentration ratio, soluble salts, pH, and presence of weed seeds, heavy metals, and foreign objects. Compost can be analyzed at most soil testing labs. The nutrient content of compost is very low when compared to commercial fertilizers. However, compost does contain many of the nutrients plants need, in favorable proportions. Fresh compost continues to biodegrade for a year or more, releasing nutrients during that time. For fast growing, high nutrient demanding plants, supplemental fertilizers may be needed at the beginning of the growing season.

Utah lawmakers and people like Mr. Morgan are sending a clear message that wildlife is too precious and complex to allow it to be manipulated by anyone oth- er than trained professionals working within a management system that has succeeded for the past 100 jars. According to the Utah Depart- ment of Wildlife Resources, Utah is home to 727 wildlife species. Over the past 15 years, the population of all big game species, except mule deer, have increased resulting in expanding wildlife viewing, hunting and fishing opportunities.
