Getting Started with Composting

Composting is an eco-friendly way to recycle kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil. It’s a simple process that benefits both your garden and the environment.

‍

What to Compost

Include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and yard waste like leaves and grass clippings. Avoid meat, dairy, and oily foods, as they can attract pests.

Building Your Compost Bin

You can create a compost bin using wood pallets, wire mesh, or even a store-bought compost tumbler. Ensure proper aeration by turning your compost regularly.

Using Your Compost

After a few months, your compost will break down into dark, crumbly soil. Use it to enrich your garden beds, improve soil structure, and promote healthy plant growth.

Composting is a rewarding way to reduce waste and enhance your garden.
