How to Compost

Why compost? It’s an all-purpose garden booster, a waste recycling champ, and a way to skip synthetic fertilizers. And it’s easier than you think! Here’s how to begin:

1️⃣ Find a vessel that suits your kitchen waste needs. Think greens like fruit/veggie peels and browns like paper/cardboard.

2️⃣ Skip composting meat, bones, plastic, and other no-nos!

3️⃣ Don’t sweat the brown-to-green ratio. You’ll find your groove as you go. No smell or bugs when done right!

4️⃣ Create a composting spot that fits your life and budget.

5️⃣ Turn your pile or give the compost drum a spin every 4-7 days.

6️⃣ Be patient; composting takes time depending on your setup and materials.

8️⃣ It’s ready when it’s dark brown, earthy-smelling, and crumbles in your hand.
