🌱 Composting is an environmentally friendly activity that turns trash into fertilizer and reduces landfill waste.

🌱 To start composting at home, you'll need a compost collection bin for the kitchen and a composting bin for outside.

🌱 There are different types of compost, including worm compost and dry compost, and you can choose which one to use.

🌱 Good compost has a ratio of two parts carbon to one part nitrogen, with carbon coming from debris, leaves, sticks, and more, and nitrogen being your kitchen scraps.

🌱 You may also need an activator for your compost, such as chicken manure, to speed up the composting process.

🌱 When composting, it's important to create layers, including a layer of fibrous material at the bottom and adding fibrous material on top of your kitchen and garden scraps.

🌱 Composting requires turning the compost regularly to aerate it and speed up decomposition.

🌱 A double bin composter allows you to continue adding food scraps while the compost on one side is cooking, ensuring a steady supply of compost for your garden.

🌱 Once your compost is ready, you can use it for gardening and planting, such as growing lettuce from seedlings.
