The Indore Method "reloaded"
The Indore Method
The Indore process consists of a systematic use of traditional
procedures. When Howard first put the system into practice, he used
only animal manures, brush, leaves, straw or hay, and sprinklings of
chalk or earth. The material was piled in alternating layers to make a
5-foot-high stack, or it was placed in a pit 2 or 3 feet deep. The original
procedure was to use a layer of brush as a base and to heap green or
dry vegetable material over it in a 6-inch layer, followed by a 2-inch
layer of manure and a sprinkling of soil. The order of layers was
repeated until the desired height of 5 feet was reached.
