The Ultimate Guide to Composting at Home

Composting is an eco-friendly way to recycle kitchen and garden waste into nutrient-rich soil. Here’s how to start:

Step 1: Choose a Compost Bin

Use a plastic or wooden bin, or create a compost pile in a shaded area of your garden.

Step 2: Add the Right Ingredients

Greens (Nitrogen-rich) – Vegetable scraps, fruit peels, grass clippings.
Browns (Carbon-rich) – Dry leaves, cardboard, shredded paper.

Step 3: Maintain Balance

  • Keep the compost moist but not wet.
  • Turn the pile every 2 weeks to aerate and speed up decomposition.

Step 4: Use the Compost

After 2-3 months, your compost is ready! Mix it into the soil for healthier plants.

Composting reduces waste and gives you free, organic fertilizer!
