We have selected a few tips to enhance your composting experience:

Activate your compost: Activators can be added to your compost to help kickstart the process and speed up decomposition. Common compost activator materials include comfrey leaves, grass clippings, young weeds, and well-rotted chicken manure.

Utilize a moveable fresh ground: The soil beneath a compost bin becomes enriched as nutrients filter down with successive waterings. You can place your bin on a plot of earth that you plan to use for a future vegetable or flower bed, or fruit tree. Each year, you can move the bin to a different area, allowing you to benefit from both the compost from the bin and a bed of nutrient-rich soil ready for new plantings.

Minimize unpleasant odors from your compost pile: This can be a concern in urban and suburban areas with small lots and neighbors living nearby. Odors can be reduced or eliminated by following two practices: first, avoid putting bones or meat scraps into the compost; second, cover new additions to the compost pile with dry grass clippings or similar mulch. Adding lime or calcium will also help neutralize odors. If the compost smells like ammonia, add carbon-rich elements such as straw, peat moss, or dried leaves.

We hope you have a happy composting experience, and please let us know if you have any questions. We are here to assist you 24/7.
