Learning to Compost

May 22nd, 2011 admin

Growing up, we had a compost pile and garden, so one of the first things I wanted to do to green the cottage was start a pile. First we had to choose a spot, we haven’t created our full garden yet, so for now it is tucked into the edge of the woods.

This was the very first “pile” we created. We have been adding to it every week. Compost should be a mix of green and brown - green being your leftover veggie scraps and grass clippings and the brown being dried plant remains, such as the leaves. The brown material is supposed to help the pile break down faster and keep it from smelling. Eventually we will make a bin from old pallets to contain the pile - but as you can see that is not necessary if you have a spot that is tucked out of view as we did.

We will keep posting updates as the pile grows!

There are some very simple directions
