How to Compost

Composting is easy! Just follow these simple steps to make compost:

1. Add high carbon materials ("browns") fall leaves, straw, salt marsh hay, shredded paper and cardboard (newspaper, paper towels, paper plates, paper bags), chipped brush, sawdust, pine needles (pine needles should not make up more than 10% of the total material in the pile), high nitrogen materials ("greens"), grass clippings, weeds (not laden with seeds), vegetable and fruit wastes, seaweed, eggshells, coffee grounds and filters, tea bags, manure (horse, cow, rabbit, chicken, goat, gerbil, etc).

2. Mix or layer materials Every 12" or so add a few shovelfuls of rich soil or compost.

3. Keep it damp and aerated. Wait a few months, and voila--black gold! For best results, and to keep out odors and pests, do not add: meat, bones, fat grease, oils, peanut butter, daily products (cheese, butter, milk, eggs), cooked foods with sauces or butter, dog or cat manure diseased plants, weeds gone to seed, weeds that spread by roots and runners (vines).

Cemetery

Neosho's respect for its past citizens is never more evident when passing through the gates of Woodlawn Cemetery. Established in 1832, Woodlawn Cemetery was created to be a quiet final resting place for its community residents.

Our goal is to offer a well maintained and beautiful cemetery facility.

All site sales are performed by the Village Treasurer, in conjunction with our Village Sexton. All burials are coordinated through the Village Sexton.

In deep respect for those who are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, we request that you review the rules and regulations that allow us to offer this quality final burial place.
