Choose a suitable location for your compost bin. Ensure it's easily accessible and receives a good mix of sunlight and shade.
Select a compost bin or build one using materials like wood pallets or chicken wire. Make sure it has good ventilation and drainage.
Start your compost with a mix of green (kitchen scraps, grass clippings) and brown (dried leaves, cardboard) materials in layers.
Regularly turn and aerate the compost to speed up decomposition. Keep the pile moist but not soggy, like a wrung-out sponge.
Monitor the temperature of the compost to ensure it stays between 110-160°F for efficient breakdown of materials. Add water if needed.
After a few months, your compost will transform into rich, dark soil. Use it to nourish your garden plants and reduce waste. Happy composting!
