Composting is a rewarding way to recycle organic waste and enrich your garden soil. However, waiting months for compost to break down can be frustrating. Here are five simple ways to accelerate your composting process naturally.
- Balance Greens and Browns: Maintain a proper balance between nitrogen-rich greens (food scraps, grass clippings) and carbon-rich browns (leaves, cardboard) for optimal decomposition.
- Shred Larger Materials: Chop or shred larger materials like branches and thick stems to help them break down faster.
- Keep It Moist: Moisture is crucial. Aim for a consistency like a wrung-out sponge.
- Turn Regularly: Aerate the pile by turning it weekly to supply oxygen and speed up microbial activity.
- Use a Compost Accelerator: Compost Plus boosts microbial activity and breaks down organic matter quickly, making your compost ready sooner.
