Choose a suitable location for your compost bin, ensuring it's easily accessible. Start with a mix of green and brown materials to kickstart the composting process.
Add kitchen scraps, yard waste, and shredded paper to your compost bin regularly. Turn the pile occasionally to aerate and speed up decomposition.
Keep your compost moist but not soggy. Cover the bin to retain heat and moisture. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or diseased plants to prevent odors and pests.
Monitor the compost temperature and texture. It should feel crumbly and earthy when ready. Use the nutrient-rich compost to enrich your garden soil and plants.
Troubleshoot common composting issues like bad odors or slow decomposition by adjusting the mix of materials or turning the pile more frequently. Enjoy your sustainable garden!
