How to fill out compost bins

1. Choose a location for your compost bin. It should be an area that is convenient for you to access but also has good drainage.
2. Start by adding a layer of carbon-rich materials such as dried leaves, straw, or shredded paper. This will help provide aeration and prevent odors.
3. Next, add a layer of nitrogen-rich materials such as kitchen scraps, grass clippings, or garden waste. This will help provide nutrients for the composting process.
4. Continue layering carbon and nitrogen-rich materials, making sure to maintain a balanced ratio. A ratio of 3 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen is ideal.
5. Make sure to keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. If it becomes too dry, sprinkle some water. If it becomes too wet, add more carbon-rich materials.
6. Turn or mix the compost regularly to promote aeration and speed up the decomposition process. This can be done with a pitchfork or compost turner.
7. Monitor the temperature of your compost. It should ideally reach around 130°F (54°C) to promote rapid decomposition. If it is too hot, turn it more frequently.
8. Once your compost has turned dark, crumbly, and earthy, it is ready to be used in your garden. This usually takes anywhere from 2 to 12 months, depending on various factors.
