Choose a suitable location for your compost bin, ensuring it receives adequate sunlight and is easily accessible for adding materials.
Begin your compost pile with a mix of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials like kitchen scraps, yard waste, and leaves.
Turn the compost regularly to aerate it and speed up decomposition. Keep the pile moist but not soggy to create the ideal environment for beneficial insects.
Monitor the compost temperature and moisture levels. Add more materials as needed and adjust the balance of greens and browns for optimal decomposition.
Once your compost is dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling, it's ready to use in your garden. The nutrient-rich compost will attract beneficial insects to help your plants thrive.
By starting a compost bin in your garden, you can create a sustainable way to recycle organic waste, enrich your soil, and promote a healthy ecosystem. Get started today!
