Another Approach to Backyard Composting

Another Approach to Backyard Composting

A great way to save money and the planet is to have your own garden and grow your own vegetables. You will cut down on your carbon footprint as well as not polluting the water supply with chemicals from runoff. Plus it may just help you get fresh air, exercise and eat healthier. A few weeks back I gave you tips for going green in your garden by composting. Well here's another method you can try if the first method doesn't work for you.

1.Select a dry, shady spot near a water source for your compost pile or bin.
2.Before you add your brown and green materials, make sure larger pieces are chopped or shredded.
3.Cover your composting area with a 6-inch layer of brown materials.
4.Add a 3-inch layer of green materials and a little soil or finished compost.
5.Lightly mix the two layers above.
6.Top with a 3-inch layer of brown materials, adding water until moist.
7.Turn your compost pile every week or two with a pitchfork to distribute air and moisture. Move the dry materials from the edges into the middle of the pile. Continue this practice until the pile does not re-heat much after turning.
8.Your compost will be ready in one to four months, but let the pile sit for two weeks before using.

Give it a try, the planet you will save is your own! We're all in this together and I'm pulling for you.

Mahalo.
