Composting is a great way to recycle kitchen scraps and yard waste. Choose a suitable location for your compost bin that receives sunlight and is easily accessible.
Select a compost bin that suits your needs - from DIY options to store-bought bins. Add a mix of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials to your compost pile.
Maintain your compost by turning it regularly to aerate and speed up decomposition. Keep the pile moist but not soggy, and monitor the temperature to ensure efficient breakdown.
Troubleshoot common composting problems like bad odors or slow decomposition. Adjust the mix of materials or add activators like compost starter to revive your compost pile.
Harvest your finished compost when it turns dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling. Use the nutrient-rich compost to enrich your garden soil, improve plant health, and reduce waste.
