Home Composting
Composting is simple, natural, fun and it can save you money!
Compost can happen anywhere in nature and is happening everyday............. organic material such as leaves, grass and vegetable scraps are broken down by naturally occurring soil organisms to form a humus-rich compost.
In order for the composting process to take place you need air, moisture, organisms, GREEN materials and BROWN materials all of which Mother Nature provides us with.
GREEN materials = fresh, soft, moist materials such as grass and food scraps
BROWN materials = dry, hard materials such as leaves and woody materials
