Choose a suitable location for your compost bin, ensuring it has good drainage and is easily accessible for adding materials.
Begin with a mix of 'green' nitrogen-rich materials like fruit scraps and 'brown' carbon-rich materials such as leaves or newspaper.
Maintain a balance between wet and dry ingredients in your compost bin to ensure proper decomposition and prevent odors or pests.
Turn or mix your compost regularly to aerate the pile and speed up the decomposition process, helping create nutrient-rich compost for your garden.
Monitor the moisture level of your compost bin, aiming for a damp sponge consistency. Add water if too dry or more dry materials if too wet.
With time and patience, your compost bin will transform kitchen scraps and yard waste into a valuable soil amendment for your garden beds and plants.
