How To Start Your Own Compost
Starting your own compost bin only requires a few things.
-
A bottomless bin.
-
1 part ‘browns’ (dry sticks, paper, or dead leaves).
-
1 part ‘greens’ (organic fruit and vegetable waste, coffee grounds, or grass clippings)
-
Water
Once you have these things ready, it’s just a matter of placing them all together. Watch this how-to video to see how it’s done.
After a few months, when your compost starts to become ‘humus’, you can then use it as an organic fertiliser to help your garden grow.
So this weekend, why not try lowering your carbon footprint and emissions from landfills by starting your own compost bin. The planet will thank you for it.
