FAQs
What can I compost?
You can compost most food scraps (vegetable and fruit peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells), garden waste (grass clippings, leaves), and shredded paper.
What shouldn't I compost?
Avoid composting meat, dairy products, diseased plants, and pet waste, which can attract pests or create odors.
How long does it take to get compost?
The composting process can take several months, depending on the materials and conditions. Turning the compost regularly speeds up the process.
How do I maintain the moisture level?
The compost should be damp but not soggy. Add water if it seems dry, and add dry materials if it's too wet.
How do I turn the compost?
Use a garden fork or shovel to turn the contents of the composter every few weeks. This aerates the compost and speeds up decomposition.
How do I know when the compost is ready?
Finished compost will be dark, crumbly, and have an earthy smell. There should be no recognizable pieces of the original materials.
