How to fill out build your own compost

1. To fill out and build your own compost, follow these steps:
2. Choose a suitable location for your compost pile or bin. It should be well-drained and easily accessible.
3. Collect green and brown organic waste materials. Green materials include grass clippings, kitchen scraps, and fresh plant trimmings. Brown materials include dry leaves, straw, and wood chips.
4. Layer the green and brown materials alternately in the compost pile or bin. Aim for a ratio of about 3 parts brown to 1 part green.
5. Add water as you build the layers to ensure the compost pile remains moist, similar to a damp sponge.
6. Turn or mix the compost pile regularly to provide oxygen for decomposition. This can be done using a pitchfork or shovel.
7. Monitor the moisture level of the compost pile. It should be damp but not overly wet. Add water or dry materials as needed.
8. Allow the compost pile to decompose for several weeks or months. The finished compost will be dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling.
9. Use the compost to enrich garden soil, improve plant growth, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.
