Frequently asked gardening related questions
To make organic compost, aim for a balance of "greens" (nitrogen-rich: grass clippings, kitchen scraps, fresh weeds) and "browns" (carbon-rich: fallen leaves, shredded cardboard/paper, straw). Layer these materials, keep the pile consistently moist (like a wrung-out sponge), and turn it regularly to aerate and speed up decomposition. Avoid diseased plants, meat, dairy, and pet waste. A well-maintained pile will produce rich compost in a few months to a year.
