Compost is the process where biodegradable materials are turned into a soil like substance. The material is mixed with air, water, nitrogen in the proper proportions. The result is a compost material that will serve as a soil conditioner, mulch, and fertilizers. It will feed your garden soil the microorganism that plants need to grow strong and healthy.

When starting a compost program it is best to find a spot close to your garden, but some where concealed from plain site. When you show people your beautiful garden you do not want the first thing they see to be your compost heap. They are practical but not very pretty.

After you decide on a suitable area you will start the pile with green and brown organic materials. Green materials are high in nitrogen while the brown material contain lots of carbon. These two elements form the basic foundation of a compost pile.

A properly formed compost pile will not give off any odors. When the ratio of green and brown materials are correct the pile will not emit any odors. Compost should have an earthy smell and not that of rotting material. If the latter is present then something may be in the pile that should not be there or the ratio of green and brown material is off.

Adding some finished compost to the mix helps to kick start the composting program. This will help start the microbial activities in a compost pile.

Make sure that the pile is moist. Keeping the compost pile damp will help to quicken the breakdown of the organic materials. Add water to the pile it should be damp like a sponge

Producing compost is really a pretty simple matter. It just takes a little know how and a fair amount of time.

My friends refer to me as the kitchen composter. When they look into a pile of trash all they see is garbage, but I see things that can become a part of nature.

That’s how your life is going to be if you are in touch with nature. The organic residue that you collect when you gather different materials from the land that is converted into something black,fragrant, and crumbly is what will be the compost. The idea here is to arrange the gathered items so the soil bacteria and fungi can survive and also multiply as they all break down. The bacteria act as the converters of all the raw materials so that they must be in a workable environment with proper air, food, and moisture.

You do not have to be a pro a start a kitchen composter program. All you have to have is a big heart for nature and you are all set. The thing you need to remember is that you are doing the environment a great favor by being involved in such a process.

You will know the right time to harvest the compost when you no longer recognize the original materials that you used to make the pile. The finished compost should look more humus-like, it is dark, loose, and smells earthy.

When you harvest the compost from your pile, it would be best to spread it out and expose it to the air. This will further dry the compost and will make
