The Complete Guide to Composting at Home

Composting is one of the most impactful things you can do for the environment. It reduces waste, creates nutrient-rich soil, and helps your garden thrive naturally.

Getting Started

Choose a location for your compost bin that's easily accessible but not too close to your home. You'll need a good balance of "green" materials (nitrogen-rich) and "brown" materials (carbon-rich).

What to Compost

Green materials include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and fresh grass clippings. Brown materials include dry leaves, newspaper, and cardboard. Avoid meat, dairy, and oily foods.
