Why Compost?
Composting is a natural process of recycling organic material, such as leaves and vegetable scraps, into rich soil. Not only does it reduce waste, but it also enhances the growth of garden plants.
🌱 Better for the environment, better for your garden!
Essential Composting Steps
- Collecting Materials: Gather organic materials, free from chemicals. Examples include fruit peels, coffee grounds, and grass clippings.
- Choose Your Bin: Utilize a compost bin or create a pile in a designated area of your garden.
- Layering: Alternate between green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials.
- Moisture: Ensure your compost is moist, akin to a wrung-out sponge. 🌧️
- Turning: Aerate by turning your compost regularly with a pitchfork or shovel.
- Patience: Allow decomposition over several months. Finished compost should be dark and crumbly.
