 Composting is easier than you think!
Basic information from the EPA:
You can create a compost pile in your backyard or indoors, depending on your available space. Backyard and indoor composting are most suitable for households to convert small quantities of organic materials, such as yard trimmings and food scraps, into compost that can be spread in garden beds, under shrubs, or use it as potting soil for outdoor plants.
Before you begin composting, you should understand the composting process. View what materials to compost and what materials not to compost and read up on the science behind composting about which variables must be controlled during composting.
All composting requires three basic ingredients:
Browns-Includes materials such as dead leaves, branches , twigs
Greens-Includes materials such as grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, and coffee grounds
Water
Having the right amount of greens, browns, and water is important for compost development. Ideally, your compost pile should have an equal amount of browns to greens and alternate layers of organic materials of different-size particles. The brown materials provide carbon for your compost and the green materials provide nitrogen, while the water provides moisture to help breakdown the organic matter.
For more tips on how to start a compost pile, visit the website of the EPA. |
