The following information from the NC Cooperative Extension shows how easy and ef- ficient composting can be. More than 25% of the typical household's waste is yard trimmings and food scraps that can be compos- ted. Composting is the controlled decomposi- tion of organic materials into a soil-like substance called compost. Organic materials, such as grass clippings, leaves, yard trim- mings, food scraps, and non-recyclable paper prod- ucts, can be composted at home in compost bins, piles, or worm bins. Home composting is an easy and economical way for individ- uals to convert their organic waste into a soil amend- ment that they can use to mulch landscaping, en- hance plant growth, enrich topsoils, and provide other benefits to plants and soil. Compost benefits in- clude: improves soil health & fertility, increases the nutrient content of soils, promotes higher yields of crops, brings & feeds di- verse life in soils, makes soil easier to work with, increases soil porosity & moisture retention, sup- presses plant diseases & pests, can reduce the need for fertilizers & pesticides, encourages healthy root systems, helps regenerate poor soils, can prevent & manage soil erosion prob- lems, reduces water de- mands of plants & trees. 4 Great Reasons to Compost Yard Waste It saves money – Con- verting your food scraps and yard trimmings to com- post saves on buying soil amendments and fertiliz- ers. Homeowners who dis- card yard waste are giving away their yards' potential soil nutrients Saves time – Discarding to a compost pile is often faster than bagging and bundling sticks for street- side yard disposal. Reduces trash disposal – Your community will need less landfill space and in- cinerator capacity. Less pollution will be emitted by landfills and waste-hauling trucks It's educational – Learn- ing about composting and natural processes is inter- esting for people young or old. Children can learn to conserve natural resources through composting ac- tivities. It's a great way to teach natural sciences. Simple tools to get you started… You can compost in a pile or in a bin that you have constructed or purchased. On the internet, you can find plans for making com- post bins or sites that sell manufactured bins. Some communities sell compost- ing bins at a subsidized rate. Place your compost bin in a flat, open space that is easily accessible but not right next to your house. Keep areas in front of and above the bin clear so you can get to it easily. Placing it in a shady area is best so it won't dry out as quickly. Siting your bin near gardens where you will use the compost is also a good idea. Composting tools list (suggested, not necessary) Thick work or gardening gloves, Digging fork with metal tines and reinforced handle, Aerator (resembles screw or butterfly clips), Watering can or hose, Containers or buckets, Screener, Flat shovel or ta- pered spade. Questions and Answers How do I compost? Two basic styles: Single Batch (materials are added only once to form a pile) and Continuous Pile (add mate- rials as they become avail- able). When is compost ready to use? It takes about 3 to 6 months to produce fin- ished compost using the Hot Pile Method. The Cold Pile Method will take about a year or longer. Compost is ready to use when it is dark brown, has a light and crumbly texture similar to potting soil, and has a pleasant, earthy scent. Are animals attracted to compost piles? Not if you manage the pile cor- rectly. Don't put meat, fish, dairy products, grease, oil, bloodmeal or bones in your compost bin. Cover kitchen scraps or vegetable gar- den trimmings with brown leaves or other carbon ma- terials. Composting: great way to prepare for spring planting An example of a compost set-up.
