I compost every thing we bag the yard clippings we rake tree leaves and add them, goat bedding and waste hay(goats wast a lot, they eat the alfalfa leaf shatter and just pick at the stems). when I clean fence rows we chip all trees that will break down like pine, we use the ashes from our 2 wood stoves and the ashes from several neighbors stoves, in the fall i go around town and pick up all the bagged leaves that people set out for the city to pick up. I have 2 land scape companies that bring me all UNTREATED yard wastes. I will compost anything that i can get my hands on. My current system my manure is limited supply since my livestock spends as much time on pasture as possible so i save my manure for my corn fields but goat manure is a cold manure and does not need to be composted and its hard to collect so it goes to the main compost piles.I used to go on Craigslist and find adds for free horse manure and bring it in my the truck load but its not certain to be clean of antibiotics and not pre certified organic so now that we are in the process of organic certification I dont think i can continue to use it. i aplly about 3 tons to the acre of compost to all alfalfa fields and 5-6 tons to the acre of composted manure for my corn fields. her is some good info on organic fertalizers and compost

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
