Choose a suitable location for your compost bin, ensuring it has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Layer your compost materials, alternating between green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) ingredients for optimal decomposition.
Monitor the moisture levels in your compost bin by squeezing a handful of compost - it should feel like a damp sponge.
Adjust the moisture levels by adding more dry materials like leaves or shredded paper if the compost is too wet, or water if it's too dry.
Regularly turn your compost pile to help distribute moisture evenly and aerate the materials for faster decomposition.
Maintaining the right moisture levels in your compost bin is key to successful composting, leading to nutrient-rich soil for your garden.
