5 Steps to Perfect Compost

Composting turns 23% of household waste into garden gold. Here's the simple system.

1. Get a bin: Open crate (manual turn), tumbler (easy, smaller capacity), or DIY pallet bin.
2. Add starter: Grass clippings + brown material (leaves, cardboard) to prevent smell.
3. Feed it: 60% green (kitchen scraps, no meat/dairy/bones) + 40% brown (paper, cardboard, sawdust, ash). Shred for speed.
4. Turn every 2 weeks: Aerates, speeds decomposition.
5. Harvest: In 3–12 months, spread on beds 2 weeks before planting.

Low effort, high reward: less waste, free fertilizer, healthier soil. Start today.
