#### **Obtaining**

**Composting** Wet compost is formed by placing soiled [shavings](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/shavings "Shavings") and [manure](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/page/horse-poop) in [wheelbarrows](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/wheelbarrow "Wheelbarrow"). 8 items produces 1 wet compost block.

**Crafting** A Wet Compost block is crafted by combining 1 Compost (Bonemeal).

Compost (Bonemeal) is crafted by breaking down Wet or Dry Compost.

**Smelting**  
A Dry Compost block is crafted by smelting wet compost in a furnace.

**Other**  
Wet Compost Blocks can be dried out to become dry compost. Wet compost will only dry when exposed to sunlight.   
Breaking and replacing the compost will reset the progress.

#### **Usage**

The different forms of compost can be used in different ways.

- Wet and dry compost can be placed to create muck-heaps for RRP or as a storage of compost for use when needed.
- Wet and dry compost can be used in decoration of barns, a satisfying muddy-toned block that looks good in paths
- Compost bonemeal can be used the same as bonemeal to speed up growth on crops or 'naturalize' grass.

When condensing compost bonemeal back into compost blocks, some materials will be wasted (9 in &gt; block &gt; 4 out), however this encourages the storage of compost in blocks via muckheaps, occasionally removing the dried blocks from the surface or uncrafting blocks into bonemeal that can be used to grow crops for the player or horse, as well as bonemeal pastures for grass and flowers.
