Make your own compost

It is easy to make your own compost and that will be really good for your plants too as it is better than many soils as it has lots of nutrients that will nourish and nurture your plants.

Just take all your organic waste such as vegetable peelings and bits of fruit and so on and put them in a composter.

After a period of a couple of years this will result in a wonderful mulch type compost that will really help your plants to be healthy and grow strong and also saves you having to throw away all that waste so it serves two purposes.

Re : Make your own compost

This is an excellent idea.

Household waste such as fruit and vegetable peelings really does make for excellent compost that will be great for your plants, and that also saves throwing it away.

A lot of non-meat product waste can also be used in composting not just fruit and veg peelings.

Re : Make your own compost

Does anyone have any other tips on making compost?

Is there some sort of items that work better than others in compost or help to facilitate it?

Are there some things that you should definitely avoid putting into your compost, or a method that works well or not so well.

And how long should you leave things in the compost bin before trying to extract it: at what point does the waste turn into nutritious compost for your plants?
