how to make compost

Well, now I have started a compost pile, with "refuse" that we discard from our kitchen. Though we can't eat the stuff, we know that the plants will love it!

Our compost pile includes the remnants of our daily vegetable juicing (the matted vegetables that are left after we drink the liquid) egg shells, fruit remains even rinds of citrus fruit that we eat. We learned that our compost pile shouldn't be too much of one thing all together, and shouldn't include things like woody plants or bones or coconut shells, etc., which don't decompose readily.

We add to this mixture some leaves from the trees which graciously shed them for us, we just have to collect them and add them to the pile. And given a bit of time let's say four to six weeks, we shall see what happens! All this this I learned from that wonderful product about organic gardening which we purchased at www.organicfoodforless.info. It's all an adventure. I hope you try it too--and by all means, let us know how it goes!
