Composting, it's easy. No one is wealthy enough to waste anything these days. So save all your kitchen waste. It's more VALUABLE then you know.
Here is a simple, inexpensive lazy man's way to compost.
1. You can purchase a commercial composter, or simply make a circle about 3 to 4 feet in diameter and 3 to 4 feet high out of wire garden fencing.
2. Place a 4 inch layer of long stemmed plants, sticks or other coarse material in the bottom of the bin. Now add your kitchen waste as it becomes available, dead plants, grass clipping and mulched leaves. Add water as needed to keep the pile moist - but not soggy.
3. You can turn the pile if you feel energetic, but this is not required.
4. The compost is ready to use when the materials you added are no longer recognizable.
It's easy, and you will be glad you did it. It's free dirt when you need to fill a pot or just want to give your garden a little "boost".
