How Do You Make Compost Without Building A Pile?
If you want to make your own compost, but don’t want to build a pile or compost bin, try this easy method. Next spring you’ll have beautiful compost ready to use in your garden. Fill a large garbage bag with autumn leaves. Add a shovel of soil. Add a source of nitrogen: a shovel of fresh manure or handful of blood meal work great! With a knife or scissors, carefully cut or poke about ten holes in the sides of the garbage bag. Add water, enough to moisten, but not soak, the leaves. Tie the bag closed. Place in a sunny spot and each week when you go out to handle the trash, give the bag a few shakes. In spring, you will have a bag of wonderful compost to spread in your garden, as well as a source of fresh compost for tea. If you have more leaves, fill more bags!
