Choose a suitable location for your compost bin in your garden. Ensure it's easily accessible and receives a good mix of sunlight and shade.
Gather organic kitchen scraps like fruit peels, vegetable trimmings, and coffee grounds. Avoid meat, dairy, and oily foods as they can attract pests.
Layer your compost bin with a mix of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials. This balance helps speed up decomposition.
Turn your compost regularly to aerate it and help break down the materials faster. Keep the compost moist but not soggy for optimal decomposition.
Patience is key. It takes time for the organic matter to decompose into nutrient-rich compost. Soon, you'll have 'black gold' for your garden!
Once your compost is dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling, it's ready to use in your garden. Spread it around plants to nourish the soil naturally.
