Composting is the process of recycling organic materials, such as food scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil. You can effectively compost by maintaining a balance of 'green' materials (rich in nitrogen, like kitchen scraps) and 'brown' materials (rich in carbon, such as dried leaves) at a ratio of about one part green to three parts brown[3][5].
To start, choose a suitable location for your compost bin, ideally in a shaded area with good drainage. Layer your compost materials, turn them regularly to aerate the pile, and keep it moist yet not soggy[2][4][5]. This process helps reduce waste and enhances soil quality[1][6].
