Composting Basics for Gardeners

Creating Nutrient-Rich Soil

Composting is an excellent way to recycle kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil for your garden. Understanding the basics of composting can help you create a sustainable gardening practice.

How to Start Composting

Begin by selecting a compost bin or pile in a convenient location. Add a mix of green materials (like vegetable scraps) and brown materials (like dried leaves). Turn the compost regularly to aerate it and speed up the decomposition process.

Using Compost in Your Garden

Once your compost is dark and crumbly, it’s ready to use. Mix it into your garden beds to improve soil structure and provide essential nutrients to your plants. Composting not only benefits your garden but also reduces landfill waste.
