Preparing Compost

Make a compost bin made of wood, plastic or metal and ensure a good air circulation inside. An old garbage bin can also be used. Never make it too deep and shallow. Usually bins which are not more than eighteen inches deep will suffice. Green waste from your yard can work excellent for dumping inside your compost bin. They produce heat required for the digestion of worms. Other than this, you can dump all sorts of organic waste from your kitchen, be it from fruits or vegetables. Don’t put inorganic matter even by mistake; it can spoil the whole composting process. Leaves which fall during autumn season can also work its way. Dead leaves and flowers can also be added. If possible, put in some egg shells to enable worms to thrive and play. Make sure good air circulation presence in the bin. Stingy bins attract bacteria easily. In free time, turn the bin upside down or loosen the compost with a stick do not over water the compost. Just make sure it is wet and with little water. Water in the bin can get evaporated during summer seasons and the workaround for this is to close the bin without affecting air flow.
