The document describes the composting process at Plawhatch Farm. The farm has two composting sites - a large pile of farmyard manure and smaller heaps for plant and vegetable waste from greenhouses. Preparations are stored in a chest with peat-filled walls and can be carried in boxes also lined with peat to the compost heaps. The preparations are added to the heaps using brushes to stir them in.
