Fulva make good wildlife cover , toads and few similar , lot of plants for that though ,
Some combinations of Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus Tuberosa ) , and bark or shrub and tree pieces cut small and thrown together make a pretty good compost , I leave them on the corner of the Patio (cement ) the combination of debris , yard waste ,
Burdock I laid the leaves around a few plants and the soil (earth ) began to darken , So they say the color of the earth (soil ) does not matter , but as far as temperature , it does , (the reason compost burns away so quickly in ,(xeriscape?
Tea plants and so forth , these mentioned I throw into earth bags and let them break down ,,
A warning of the above combination , is ,, better mixed again afterward where you are using the made compost , because microbs , if still active will brown spot your plants ,, they go right on doing the thing even if the plants are live ,, !!! A PH or Whoa there Microbs ,,kind of thing ,
Onions work good in some combinations of the dark , hot places , but Pew what an odor those and potatoes can create ,,!!!
