Steps
To
Make
Compost
At
Home:
1. Now the first question would be, where would you start this composting? There are many options for it. You can keep it in a heap at the back of your garden but then it will stink and attract flies. You can dig a pit and put the compost there or find a land fill (rare these days). The most civilised way to make compost is to put in a compost bin and keep it covered
2. You need to put together a heap of waste products from your home to get your composting started. All your wet kitchen waste can go to this heap straight away. There are certain things like plastic bags, cosmetics, bathroom refuse like sanitary napkins that cannot go into compost because it is artificial and poisonous. Do not use animal faeces if your pet is sick.
3. Compost basically gets created by heat and the heat will come from compression. Load as much dirt as you can on to the heap or pit or bin. The more you stuff and push down, the better and faster the manure will start composting.
4. Your compost needs oxygen to undergo the reaction for disintegration. So it is not enough to just keep piling on, you also have to turn the contents once in a while. Tumbling compost bins are the best for this purpose because the can be mechanical turned. Turn it manually for a normal compost bin or else only the older raw material will compost and the new remain on the top.
5. Do not make you compost pit soggy or it will decay unpalatable. But if gets dry then the composting itself will stop. So check from time to time and do the needful.
6. Try to pool in a variety of wastes like cow dung, egg shells, kitchen waste like rotten vegetables to make your compost holistically nutritious for home gardening.
7. Always do the composting out of the way like a corner of your garage or your basement or the back of your garden if you don't want 'stink' complains from neighbours. Keep the compost covered when you are not turning it.
