The implementation of the project would require a few expenditures which would include:

​

• A fence

  • Necessary to keep out rodents since the pile would be a recipient of food scraps.

  • The cheapest option as listed on the Pro Matcher website are woven-wire, chain-link, and wooden fences, in that order.

  • The cost of applying a woven-wire fence to the area would be approximately $70.

• Shovels

  • For turning the soil.

  • The Home Depot website shows that shovels would cost about $20 each (this could be less if we choose to opt for fiberglass handles as opposed to wooden ones).

• Nitrates

  • These would be needed only in the event that the nitrate-carbon ratio requires balancing (this shouldn't occur too often).

  • $29.99/50lbs according to the Just Fruits and Exotics website.
