How to fill out backyard composter

1. First, choose a suitable location for your backyard composter. It should be placed on a level surface and preferably in a shady area.
2. Next, start by layering your compost materials. Begin with a layer of garden waste, such as dry leaves or straw, at the bottom of the composter.
3. Add a layer of kitchen scraps, such as fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, and eggshells. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods as they can attract pests.
4. Continue layering with more garden waste, followed by additional kitchen scraps. Make sure to break down larger pieces into smaller ones to facilitate decomposition.
5. Sprinkle a handful of soil or finished compost over each layer to introduce beneficial microorganisms that aid in the decomposition process.
6. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. If it seems too dry, add a little water. If it's too wet, add some dry garden waste or shredded newspaper to absorb the excess moisture.
7. Turn or mix the compost regularly to aerate it and speed up decomposition. This can be done using a pitchfork or compost aerator.
8. Depending on the type of composter you have, it may take several weeks to several months for the compost to be ready. It should have a dark brown color and an earthy smell when fully decomposed.
9. Once the compost is ready, you can use it to enrich your garden soil, mix it with potting soil for container plants, or topdress your lawn for added nutrients.
