Composting for Beginners

Low effort • Big returns

Composting is a cornerstone of healthy soil. Start simple: alternate green and brown materials, keep moisture like a wrung-out sponge, and turn weekly.

What to compost: vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds
What to avoid: meat, dairy, diseased plants
Shredding and layering speeds up decay
