It is a very convenient way to store kitchen waste that would otherwise be headed for the landfill.

The better store bought kind have a charcoal pack in the lid that will absorb odors from food. This is a great help as you really do not want anything in the house that gives off an odor.

I use just a basic stainless steel can with lid but there are types available that have an assortment of designs.

The container can take a few days to fill up but when it is finally time to head to the compost pile, dig down in the pile just a bit and add new material. After it has been added cover it to keep pests out and this will begin the composting process even faster.

After the material is added to the pile you will just need to be patient. There are tumblers that you can buy to speed up the process. Even the fastest tumbler known to man takes about 4 or 5 weeks to work.

If your not in a major hurry a pile on the ground will work just fine. Pick an out of the way spot. Composting material does not smell but it can be hard to look at.

Kitchen is generally thought of as green matter or nitrogen material. You will also need to add some brown matter or carbon material.

Brown matter will be the things outside like dried leaves, pine needles, sawdust or newspaper items. Just black and white print though, to many chemicals in colors.

Put a little bit more brown material for a good mix but nothing is engraved in stone. Experiment and see what works best for you.

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.

The less waste that is picked up by garbage trucks means the less trucks that will be running routes so composting is a great way to save gasoline.

First you will want to pick an out of the way spot. Compost does not smell but it can be a bit unsightly. You can use one of those fancy store bought tumblers but it is not necessary to produce compost.

The second thing you will need is good aeration. Air is the secret ingredient the more the material receives the faster it will break down. As I already said you can use a tumbler, crank it around once a day and your done.

You want to make a pile on the ground that is fine. Add a layer of green material then a layer of brown material then something really thick and porous like straw, hay or really thick cardboard. Imagine a compost lasagna.

Okay now “where cooking with gas” as my uncle would say. Which brings us to the third thing we need which is time. Now if your in a hurry you can use a tumbler but even the fastest tumbler takes about 6-8 weeks. A pile on the ground will work just fine but it needs to be turned every now and then.

How often you ask? well that depends on how fast you want compost. The more air it receives in the pile the faster it will compost. Just use a shovel or a pitch fork and turn it every so often and you will make your own compost in no time.
