October 5, 2009. Anyone who has ever … in the slightest … questioned whether compost is valuable, please take a look at the photo at the top of the New York Times article about the composting practices at Harvard University. Look at the darkness and richness of the soil plug dug from a heavily walked-upon lawn area at Harvard. That's the kind of soil all of us should strive for. It doesn't come in a bag of highly marketed "miracle" chemicals, or from applying the latest/newest/greatest perfect lawn technologies. Harvard's lawns come from good, solid organic gardening … really.
