How to make compost
You need to add green material to your compost: weeds, grass clippings, livestock manure, fruit and vegetable peels.
Do not add meat or fat waste, or cat or dog feces to your compost.
Add brown material to the compost: sawdust, twigs, straw, and paper.
Balance the ratio of green and brown material - 50/50.
It is also important to add water to the compost.
This is an important element for a compost heap.
This will speed up the compost formation process.
However, there should not be too much moisture, as this can lead to an unpleasant odor and a large number of harmful bacteria.
If it's not raining outside, pour about a bucket of water into your compost pile once a week.
It is also important to turn your compost pile regularly.
Use a pitchfork or shovel for this.
Turn the compost once every two to three weeks.
