How to Make Compost
Compost is a mixture of both green and dead plant material. Good compost needs both air and moisture to work well. Mix clippings plant clippings and cut grass, dead leaves and flowers. Contain the compost in an area that gets plenty of sunlight. When adding to the compost add the occasional shovel of earth to introduce worms and bugs to help break down the material. Water this pile occasionally and turn with shovel to mix it up about once per month Kitchen scraps are also good but do not add fats, meat or bone as this does not break down well and will attract animals.
