How to Begin...

* Choose a spot with easy access to your kitchen and available water.
* Place the bin on soil or grass in partial shade.
* Collect as many GREEN and BROWN materials as you can to start your compost.
* Place approximately equal amounts of GREENS and BROWNS in your compost bin, in alternate layers.
* Add some soil and then mix the materials.
* Soak with water to create uniform dampness.
* Close the bin securely and then let nature take it away!

To make rich compost you need a good mix of GREENS and BROWNS.
The soft GREEN material is rich in nitrogen and gets the process started and the tougher BROWN material is rich in carbon which gives body to the compost.
