Introduction

You’ve heard before that composting your food scraps is good for the planet. You know it’s a great way to recycle your kitchen waste instead of sending it off to a landfill every week.

But you probably still haven’t done it, right? I don’t blame you—composting can be gross and messy, and who actually has time for that? And what are you supposed to do if the pile starts stinking up the place? And what do you even put in said pile anyways? Fear no more! With these 5 tips, I’ll show you how easy composting can be. First things first…

Compost! Compost! Compost!

If you do it right, it doesn’t smell.

Composting is easy. All you need to do is follow the rules! It’s all about the right ingredients. If your compost pile isn’t growing properly, it might be due to a lack of nitrogen in the mix. If you want to see your compost pile thrive, try adding more food scraps that contain a lot of nitrogen (like dairy products) or add some grass clippings from your lawn.

You also need patience when making compost. Compost has to sit in its bin for at least 6 months before it can be used as fertilizer or soil amendment material, so don’t expect great results right away!

Finally, don’t forget that recycling is an important part of being green—and making your own compost is one way you can recycle food scraps into valuable fertilizer for plants!

It’s easy if you have the right ingredients.

The right ingredients are what make composting easy. For example, if you’re going to add just one thing of both green and brown, it might be a little hard to digest later on.

What’s the right ratio? The general rule is 3:1, which means three parts green (vegetables and fruit) to one part brown (dry leaves, grass clippings, hay and straw).

Dump it in a pile and wait.

Don’t worry, though. It’s not as hard as it seems. Composting takes time and effort (and patience), but if you follow these steps, you’ll be done in no time!

• Assemble your materials. You’ll need to collect waste from around the house—paper products like junk mail and newspapers, food scraps like vegetable peels or coffee grounds, dead plants (but not weeds), etc.—and combine them in a pile somewhere on your property away from any buildings or trees that might get damaged by moisture buildup over time. If you’re worried about animals getting into the pile after being attracted by its smell but are also concerned about leaving it outside where there’s more chance for rainwater runoff than if it were buried under leaves & dirt under an old log in a forested area with few wild animals roaming around nearby places where this might happen often enough for one day’s worth of moisture build up on top of one small pile at most which will probably dry out before anyone notices there was any problem with either option anyway so stop worrying about silly things like these please don’t do this again!

Don’t worry about pests.

• If you’re worried about pests, don’t be. Composting is a natural process. Just like anything else that is natural, there are going to be some bugs around and they can’t hurt you (that much). There are plenty of things we do on a daily basis that could harm us if done wrong, but we still do them because we know how to properly use them. The same goes for composting.
• It doesn’t matter how old your kids are or how much money you make—everyone can benefit from composting! Composting is an excellent way to recycle organic material into something useful and beautiful at the same time; it’s great for the environment and saves money!

You can compost anything and everything, including your pets and your homework.

There’s a mindset out there that you need to only compost certain things in order for it to be effective. Well, we’re here to tell you that that is simply not the case! You can compost pretty much anything and everything, including your pets and your homework.

Just imagine how great it would be if all of those dead plants could come back on their own as new ones! With our simple steps below, you won’t have to worry about any odor issues either – everything will just turn into compost!
