Composting Tips

  • Turn your compost pile regularly to aerate it and speed up decomposition.
  • Keep your compost moist but not soggy - it should feel like a wrung-out sponge.
  • Chop or shred materials into smaller pieces for faster decomposition.
  • Balance green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials for optimal results.
  • Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods to your compost as they can attract pests.
