Making a Compost – Secrets Revealed

Instead of sending refuse off to the landfill it can be used when making a compost pile or put it in a compost tumbler.

Tumblers will produce compost in about 6-8 weeks but if your not in a hurry you can just make a pile on the ground.

Choose an out of the way spot for the compost site. Compost does not produce and odor, if it is done right. It is a bit unsightly though.

You may want to work with this ratio a bit to get what works best for you. You should try for roughly 3 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen. Like I said this is not engraved in stone so find what works best for you.

Carbon ingredients or brown matter as it is called is dried leaves, sawdust and newspapers.

Nitrogen ingredients or green matter as it is called is kitchen scraps, herbivore manure such as chickens, horses and cows. No dog or cat droppings, to many chemicals in there feces.

Some people collect all the materials then add them together all at once, this will produce a lot of heat in the pile and produce compost very fast.

I as a lot of people do add material about once a week. Stack it in a layer first green then a brown layer. Next should be some kind of course material like thick cardboard, hay or straw. This will allow aeration to get in.

Do not forget to add a little moisture and you will be making a compost pile before you know it.
