Compost-making shouldn't be complicated. Once you learn the basics, you'll find that it's an easy way to cut down on food and household waste while creating nutrient-dense compost for your garden. Even if you do not have a garden, having a compost pile is still a great idea. It can be utilized as mulch for landscaping, flower beds, or around trees at home. But there are some common composting mistakes you don't want to make.
Choice of composting method
Most farmers have no idea that there are different composting methods. Cold composting is the most common; this is when you add all of your organic materials into a pile, turn, and add water regularly. The core temperature increases, but it takes up to one year to have completed compost. Some farmers compost animal manure, while others prefer vermicomposting, which is when you use worms to create compost. Take time before you get started to pick the method that makes the most sense for you.
