What type of garbage can you put in the compost?
Today I’m going to explain how to start a compost heap. First of all you must use only vegetable matter, which includes tea leaves, egg shells - but wash the shells first - and tissues. Don’t use any meat or grain products because this attracts rats.
b. Where is the best place for a compost heap?
Find a place in your garden that gets a few hours of sunlight each day. Use picks or shovels to turn the compost regularly so it gets plenty of air.
c. Should you water the compost?
The compost also needs moisture, but it will get this from condensation. Cover the heap with a sheet of strong plastic if the weather is wet.
d. How long does it take before you can use the compost?
Keep adding to the pile and after about six months, your compost will be ready to use as fertilizer.
Why should we make compost?
It makes soil softer and richer.
It is cheap.
It makes our environment cleaner.
It helps trees grow quickly……
