To start composting, you will first need to find an appropriate area to store your compost, such as an enclosed compost bin or an area of your yard. Once you have an area, you can start adding your compost ingredients. You can use a combination of green and brown materials for composting. Green materials are food scraps such as fruit and vegetable peels and leftovers, coffee grounds, eggshells and tea bags. Brown materials are cardboard, shredded newspaper, wood chips, and dry leaves. By adding a balanced combination of these materials you can create the perfect compost.
