HOW TO COMPOST
Composting is cheap and easy to learn, but there is a little bit of an art to it that comes with practice. Breaking down waste requires the right amount of moisture, heat, soil aeration and a proper mix of materials. And here’s the good news. We’re going to teach you how to do it on this site, which will reduce your learning curve HOW TO USE COMPOST IN YOUR YARD AND GARDEN Soil Amendment: If you use compost as a soil amendment, just dig anywhere from 2 to 4 inches down and then throw the compost in there, and mix it in with the rest of the soil at planting time. Your flowers, plants, or whatever you have planted there will thrive. Compost Tea: Compost tea refers to the liquid matter released by thecompost.
7 EASY DIY COMPOSTER PLANS TO BUILD YOUR OWN COMPOST BIN Soak the rods for at least 24 hours to make them more flexible. Arrange the form of the circle using straight sticks that are the same height, and stick them into the soil where you want the outer edges of the bin to be. Next, weave the soaked rods through the vertical poles, moving upward until you reach the desired height of the compost bin. COMPOST PILES: CHECK YOUR LOCAL ORDINANCES TO SEE IF THEY Photo found on Flickr.com courtesy of Blackstarjewelry.. A compost pile is just simply what the name implies: a pile of compost that may or may not be covered with a tarp that sits on your lawn and decomposes until it is sweet, rich, compost ready for your lawn or garden.. However, some cities do not allow compost piles because they can be unsightly, and they can attract pests if they are not COMPOST MAKER: ARE COMPOST ACTIVATORS NECESSARY? Compost Accelerator is not entirely necessary to your compost pile. This is because the natural breakdown of materials will occur just as it would in nature. Additionally, sometimes some freshly made compost or nutrient rich soil mixed in with your organic material can help start the process as well. ADD MANURE TO YOUR COMPOST? WHAT KINDS ARE OKAY? Manure from sheep, cows, rabbits, llamas, goats, hamsters, and similar animals is a “green” compost – high in nitrogen and aerobic bacteria. This type of manure should be stirred into compost heaps and added when turning compost piles. It makes a great accelerant, but should be balanced with carbon rich compost to avoid overheating. COMPOSTING TIP: CAN I COMPOST VEGETABLES FROM CANNED GOODS However, let’s say you’ve got a dented or swollen can (something that you’d throw away and not eat) – yes, you can compost it! You might want to throw it in the center of the pile, as to avoid rodents or pests digging into your compost. Basically, once oxygen is involved, the anaerobic bacteria will die off and the aerobic microbesfrom
COMPOST BIN MOISTURE LEVEL Try turning the compost with a pitchfork or shovel to make sure the moisture is distributed evenly throughout the pile or bin. Then make sure not to add any more water until the moisture levels even out a bit. You may also consider adding carbon-rich materials like leaves, straw or newspaper to absorb some of the excess moisture. WORM CASTINGS: HOW WORM POOP CAN MAKE YOUR SOIL RICHER Worm castings can hold 9 times their weight in moisture. This water capacity is similar to peat moss, mulch, and coconut fiber. That’s important because dry soil can harm plants by sucking the moisture out of their roots. If your soil is too dry, try mixing in some vermi compost.

You can also use other species of worms, but not all wormsCOMPOSTER DESIGNS
Then, nail or screw the boards together to form a rigid frame. Repeat the process to form a matching side. Then, stand the frames up on their side and connect them with cross beams.

CAN YOU COMPOST PINEAPPLE PEEL? Thanks, Zenny. Yes, you can compost pineapple peel with no problem. The skin on a pineapple is pretty tough, and the top part of the pineapple is even tougher. So they won’t break down as quickly as something like a banana peel. They will eventually break down though. You can speed up the decomposition by cutting the peel (and top) into COMPOSTING INFO: PAPER TOWELS To answer the question thoughyes, you can definitely recycle and compost paper towels – be it white ones, or even recycled, brown paper towels that you sometimes see in an office washroom. You don’t want to compost any paper towels that you’ve gotten wet with chemicals, because this can harm your compost.HOW TO COMPOST

COMPOST PILES: CHECK YOUR LOCAL ORDINANCES TO SEE IF THEY Photo found on Flickr.com courtesy of Blackstarjewelry.. A compost pile is just simply what the name implies: a pile of compost that may or may not be covered with a tarp that sits on your lawn and decomposes until it is sweet, rich, compost ready for your lawn or garden.. However, some cities do not allow compost piles because they can be unsightly, and they can attract pests if they are not ADD MANURE TO YOUR COMPOST? WHAT KINDS ARE OKAY? Manure from sheep, cows, rabbits, llamas, goats, hamsters, and similar animals is a “green” compost – high in nitrogen and aerobic bacteria. This type of manure should be stirred into compost heaps and added when turning compost piles. It makes a great accelerant, but should be balanced with carbon rich compost to avoid overheating. COMPOST MAKER: ARE COMPOST ACTIVATORS NECESSARY? Compost Accelerator is not entirely necessary to your compost pile. This is because the natural breakdown of materials will occur just as it would in nature. Additionally, sometimes some freshly made compost or nutrient rich soil mixed in with your organic material can help start the process as well. ALL ABOUT CARBON AND NITROGEN MATERIALS Nitrogen – These materials are known as the “greens” in your compost bin and include things like grass clippings, kitchen scraps and coffee grounds. Having too much nitrogen materials will make your compost bin or pile smell like ammonia, which smells gross. Oxygen – The right amount of oxygen for microorganisms is crucial to creating COMPOST BIN MOISTURE LEVEL Try turning the compost with a pitchfork or shovel to make sure the moisture is distributed evenly throughout the pile or bin. Then make sure not to add any more water until the moisture levels even out a bit. You may also consider adding carbon-rich materials like leaves, straw or newspaper to absorb some of the excess moisture.HOW TO COMPOST

How to Compost
A guide to making your own compost. COMPOST: WHAT IS IT, ANYWAY? Compost is what you get when yard and garden debris, kitchen scraps and other organic materials have completely broken down into a rich, dark, crumbly material. Gardeners call it “black gold,” because it is so rich in nutrients and adds so much value you when add it to your soil. Finished compost is also often called humus, but usually only in really serious sounding books written by uppity, academic types. (FYI for you chickpea fans out there, humus is not the same thing as hummus. So please don’t try to eat it.) In the right conditions, bacteria and other microorganisms quickly break down organic material into rich, fertile earth that you can add to your soil to increase its fertility and health. After the organisms have done their thing, they generate finished compost, which has lots of minerals and micro-nutrients in an easily accessible form forplants.
Composting is cheap and easy to learn, but there is a little bit of an art to it that comes with practice. Breaking down waste requires the right amount of moisture, heat, soil aeration and a proper mix of materials. And here’s the good news. We’re going to teach you how to do it on this site, which will reduce your learning curvesignificantly.
