I compost my flats of barley grass,sunflower greens and buckwheat by using a basic compost pile.This keeps my costs down and supplies me with an exellant growing medium.It does take some space and some physical effort but the rewards are well worth it.I use a wire mesh to grate the flats which breaks up the clumps and preps the compost for use.I then add vermiculite along with azomite and some kelp.
