Converting kitchen and garden waste into usable soil is what composting is all about. Food waste, grass clippings, weeds, small brush, coffee grounds, eggshells—all of these organic ingredients should go into your compost pile, not the landfill. When adding material to the composter, keep in mind the pile needs regular moisture and a proper ratio of carbon-rich materials, or “browns,” and nitrogen-rich materials, or “greens”. Discover how to conquer the art of composting and how to create custom compost with grass clippings.
