Make Your Own Compost
1. Gather materials such as leaves, grass clippings, vegetable scraps, and coffee grounds to create your compost pile.
2. Spread the material out in a loose pile at least 3 feet by 3 feet by 6 inches tall.
3. Water the compost regularly with a garden hose or watering can so it stays moist but not soggy.
4. Turn the compost every few weeks to ensure proper decomposition.
5. Add soil amendments like manure, peat moss, or compost starter when adding new materials.
6. Monitor the temperature of your compost; if it is too hot, turn it over and add more moisture.
