It is a convenient way of getting rid of garden waste and will also saves you money, so it is well worth making the effort to do it. Making your own compost is sound sense. It returns organic matter and nutrients to the soil that would otherwise be lost. It is also a very convenient way of getting rid of waste. There are environmental benefits, too, as composting recycles material that would otherwise find its way to landfill sites. Producing your own compost will save you money, because it means you need to buy less organic matter to improve your garden soil.
To compost successfully and efficiently you need the right equipment and an understanding of the principles of the decomposition process. Although you can compost organic waste perfectly well in a loose heap, it looks untidy and tends to decompose unevenly unless carefully managed. In most gardens a compost bin is a far better option. Ideally, a bin should contain at lest one cubic meter of waste to allow it to heat up adequately and compost material quickly. The bin can be a simple structure made from old pallets nailed together to form a box or a neater home made version fashioned from second hand, tantalized fencing timber.
Do not use untreated timber because it will rot along with the contents. Alternatively, you can buy a ready made compost bin, but make sure you choose one that will hold sufficiently organic waste. The compost should be easily accessible when it is ready to use. Almost all organic waste material from the garden and household can be recycled, but to decompose quickly and form a crumbly, sweet smelling, fibrous material, the right ingredients must be combined. Ideally, add dry materials, such as pruning, old newspapers and straw, with equal quantities of green, wet organic waste, such as grass clippings.
Before adding to the compost heap, make sure that dry and woody material is chopped finely with scatters prunes or a garden shredder. Do not add meat, fish, fat or other cooked foods to the compost bin because they will attract vermin. Also throw away perennial weed roots and annuals weeds that are setting seed because these may survive the composting process. Mix up the material before adding it to the compost bin or add the material in layers no more than six inches deep.
