The best way to start a compost bin is to start with a layer of carbon-rich materials, such as dry leaves, straw, or shredded paper, to form the base of the compost bin. Next, add a layer of nitrogen-rich kitchen scraps, such as fruit and vegetable peels, food scraps, and coffee grounds. Finally, add a thin layer of soil or existing compost to activate the composting process.
