There are tumblers the can be used to speed up the process. Even the best tumbler takes about 3 – 4 weeks.

Just pick out an unused part of the yard, maybe out of sight even. A compost pile does not produce any odor, if it is done right. It can be unsightly though.

Once your spot is picked out then it’s time to start composting. Begin with a nice layer of sticks or some kind of course material. This will supply good aeration from the bottom of the pile.

The next layer start with green matter. There is really no good reason to start with green matter you can just as easily start with brown matter but you are going to alternate to produce layers.

Green matter items from your kitchen, fruit peels, vegetables, nut shells , coffee grounds and there filters. Just about any kitchen waste will qualify.

Brown matter is the items that will come from outside. Leaves, sawdust, wood chips, paper items (simple black and white print only), and sticks laying in the yard.

After these 2 layers add another aeration layer. Sticks, hay, straw or anything else course you can think of.

After the materials have been added put a little dampness on the pile. Not to much though think of a damp sponge.

You may add a handful of dirt every once in a while as dirt contains microbes that will help kick the compost process into gear.

Then after you build a compost stack you will just need to be patient. You will have rich compost to spread over your plants in no time.

When the items break down compost will be formed. But it does take a little while so you will need to be patient. Your garden will love compost fertilizer, it’s well worth the wait.

Also it is a fine way to save a few bucks on chemical fertilizer. The fact is that you want to stay away from chemicals as it iis really not good for the soil long term.

Actually it is very simple, just pick a spot in your yard. Someplace out of site is usually best, Compost won’t produce a smell but it can be tough on the eyes.

After you choose your spot add a layer of sticks or some other course material. That way you will get good aeration from the bottom.

Then add some of your kitcen waste this is called green matter. Old egg shells, fruit peels, coffee grounds and the filter, nut shells. Just about that is organic can go in the compost pile.

Next you will want to add some brown matter. This is lawn leaves, grass clippings, herbivore droppings. Such as horse, cow, chicken. Stay away from cat and dog droppings, to many chemicals.

You may want two start a second compost pile for yard plants. cat and dog feces will be great for this, just don’t use on plants that grow food you intend to eat.

Composting at home is a fine idea that will save you a few bucks on fertilizer and growing your own produce will save you money at the grocery store.

Should waste be put in garbage to be hauled to the landfill. The diseased plants and the weeds should, but everything else can go in your very own compost pile. Composting is an excellent way to take care of your garden pruning, tree trimmings, grass clippings, and even kitchen scraps.

There are 2 very good reasons why you should be composting your scraps.

It keeps the yard and kitchen waste out of the landfills where it has a hard time breaking down with all the plastic and other non-compostable stuff around it.

Composted scraps break-down and turn into a gardener’s secret weapon for next year’s crop… “black gold”. This nutrient-rich compost is just what your tired topsoil needs and is the perfect way to keep the cycle of life going.

To start composting, you use a bin or two, rather than open piles. Bins help the piles to heat up quicker and longer, which helps the waste to decompose faster. Plus, closed bins discourage little critters from coming along and feasting on all the goodies that make up your compost.

You can find a compost bin at your local garden store or online, and while they tend to be on the expensive side, they may make you some good compost faster. You can also make your own compost bins with instructions you can fine online or using your own imagination. You can even drill some holes in a plastic garbage can for aeration and use that. When it’s time for the pile to be turned, fasten the lid down with a bungee cord, lay it on it’s side and roll it around some.

Once you have your compost bin, you need to create a pile of brown, green, and soil with manure. Brown is Dead leaves, prunings, spent plants, smallish twigs. Green is Veggie scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, used tea bags from the kitchen.

Bones and other meat leftovers do not belong in your compost pile because they attract wildlife.

If your compost pile smells, then you need to adjust the amounts of what you have in it. The rule of thumb is to add equal amounts of the brown, green, and dirt. When you throw something on the pile, like peelings from your potatoes and carrots, plus the broccoli your son refused to eat, then add some dirt and brown leaves as well.

It might take some time for your compost to break down, so you might want to have two bins going. One will be the bin that is older and is busy turning into compost, the other is a bin for the newest stuff.

When composting your scraps is ready, you’ll know it. It will be a dark color, smell good, and look like the prettiest top soil you have ever seen. Go ahead and spread it around your plants and garden and watch it grow. Compost is a natural fertilizer that your plants will love.
