If you’ "re not composting, here’s how to get started. * Get a composting bin. Contact your municipal works department to ask if they have composting bins available at a reduced cost. You can also buy a commer- cial model from garden cen- tres, or you can build one yourself. The ideal size to build is between one to one- and-a-half square metres (9 to 25 square feet). + Add material. Start with a layer of plant stalks, twigs or other woody material. Add a layer of brown materi- al (dry leaves, straw, sawdust or woodchips). Then add a layer of kitchen scraps or green plant material (like grass or plant clippings). You can add a little soil, too. It contains organisms which do the work of decomposi- tion. Soil can also suppress room - two walkouts - and more! Guelph on over 1/2 acre. Attached garage has loft & storage.

Continue alter- nating layers of yard waste, kitchen waste and soil. Brown yard waste is high in carbon while kitchen and green yard waste is high in nitrogen. Both carbon and nitrogen are needed to build a balanced compost pile. Kitchen scraps that can be added to the compost bin-are fruit and vegetable scraps, tea bags, egg shells, coffee grounds with filter paper and nut shells. * Give it water and air. Keep it as moist as a squeezed-out sponge. Use a cover to keep it from becom- ing too wet from rainfall, and water it if it becomes dry. Provide air to the pile every two to three weeks by turn- ing it with a pitchfork or shovel or aerating tool. ¢ Spread it around. It can take from two months to a year to get finished compost. Be patient. When compost is ready to use, it should be dark and crumbly with most of its original identity lost. Dig it into the earth before planting flowers and vegeta- bles, or use it as a mulch around plants and trees to help retain moisture, smother weeds and prevent soil com- paction. You can screen it and use it on your lawn or as part of a seed-starting mix, or mix it with equal parts water to make a nutritious “tea” for watering gardens, lawns and ts. pots. It’s that simple and it takes just minutes a day to improve your garden and help the environment.
