clippings, and garden
waste), as well as some
kitchen and meal scraps,
and properly preparing
them, you can compost in
your yard. Just adhere to
these simple, fundamental
rules:

Step 1. Choose the right

materials. Anything that
was once alive will
compost, but not
everything should be
placed in a compost pile.
In general, do not compost
foods containing animal
fats (such as meat, bones,
cheese, grease and oils);
plants infected with
disease, invasive weeds,
weeds that have gone to
seed, or dog and cat
feces. Yard trimmings, like
leaves, grass clippings,
pruning, garden debris,
and most kitchen scraps
 make excellent compost.

 Worked
Example Step 2. Select and
prepare a site. Decide
where in your garden or
yard you want to start your
compost pile first. It

doesn't really matter if it's

under the sun orthe
shade, but ideally, it
should get a little of both
throughout the day. It is
more crucial that it is
located in a handy area
for use. Decide next how
you want to compost. It
actually depends on your
preferences whatever
method you use to
prepare a compost pile
because there are so
many. You may decide to:

Use no enclosure at all.

Simply pile the materials
up, keeping them in a
fairly dense heap.

Build your own compost

bin. Bins that are
enclosed usually look tidy,
aid in pest control, and
retain heat and moisture.
You can create a simple
round enclosure out of
wooden stakes, chicken
wire, or hardware cloth;
build a wooden bin out of
reclaimed wood or old
pallets; create a three-
sided enclosure out of
cinder blocks stacked on
top of one another with
the front left open; or even
drill holes in the bottom
and sides of a garbage
can.

Step 3. Prepare the

compost materials and
build a pile.

Prepare the materials. Cut

or shred the materials into
small pieces to start. This
will hasten their
breakdown. Even though
it is not required,
shredding leaves will
hasten the composting
process. Garden garbage
and leftover food also fit
this description.

Build the pile. To aid in

drainage and aeration,
add a layer of coarse
debris to the bottom, such
as wood chips or small
twigs. Then, to help
balance the ratio of
carbon
and nitrogen, add
materials in layers 2 to
6inches thick that
alternate between
"greens" (food scraps,
grass clippings, manure)
and "browns" (leaves,
straw, woody debris).
After every two layers,
thoroughly combine water.
Build the entire pile out of
"browns" and then add the
"greens" as they become
available if you don't have
both "greens" and
"browns" on hand at once.
Bury food scraps
completely in the center of
the mound when adding
them. Periodically add a
shovel's worth of garden
soil. Save a few bags of
fall leaves so you can
utilize them in the spring
and after summer
preferably.

Keep it moist. The pile

should be kept damp, but
not soggy, with a
consistency similar to a
sponge that has been
wrung out. It won't decay
if it isn't damp.

Give it air. The microbes

that break down the
materials require oxygen
to do so. When you add
more material, use a
pitchfork or hoe to fluff the
pile. You can typically
acquire finished compost
in one year if you can
manage to turn the pile
more aggressively in the
spring and fall (turning it
totally inside out and
upside down). Slower
composting is the result of
less rotation.

Observe your pile.

Composting produces heat
as it happens. If you notice
steam coming from the pile,
especially when it is turned,
don't be shocked. This
indicates that the cir

Step 4. Test whether the

compost is ready.
Depending on the materials
used, the size of the pile,
and how frequently it is
turned, decomposition will
be finished in two weeks to
two years. When the
material has cooled,
darkened to a rich brown,
and broken down into tiny
soil-like particles, the
compost is said to be
finished.
Step 5. Use the
compost. Apply 1-3
inches of the finished
compost and work it into
the top four inches of soil
about a month before
planting. Throughout the
summer, compost can be
used in the garden as a
top dressing or mulch.
Compost can be used to
make potting soil by
mixing equal quantities of
compost, sand, and loam
after being screened
through a 12" sieve, and
large particles can be
returned to the compost
pile.

After the discussion, the

learners will be asked to
answer the guide questions
that follow circumstances
for decomposition.
