Composting made simple

Have you ever googled composting? You can get so many ways to compost, add this, measure that etc, etc...

Composting is very simple, not time consuming, no need to measure anything, no special containers needed.

My Grandpa taught me a very important rule.

"Everything you need is already here for you naturally and free and that there is no need to alter what is already perfect"

To compost all you need is a small area in your yard. An area big enough for 2 piles( the size of your choosing) you need a space for 2 piles so that you  have enough room to stir and flip your compost. I don't use any containers, or covers.( Although I do have to keep the dog out) I just simply pile my ingredients in a pile, and when I'm outside I go and give it stir or quick flip.

 Nature just takes its course on the pile, with the rain, snow, and sun.

The ingredients of your compost is simple, I think about it like this, if its grown naturally, then its good for my compost.

All grass clippings, leaves, bark, weeds, any raw fruit or vegetable, egg shells, coffee grounds

Never put any animal feces, meat, oils, or anything cooked in your pile.

My Grandpa never used fertilizers or chemicals, never measured ph balance or anything else, as kids we would be out playing and stop in the garden for a snack, no need to wash anything off, just a little swipe on the shirt would do.

This is so easy and healthy for you and your plants.

 The kids will also enjoy watching it work its magic. Over time you will see it breaking down (usually about 3 months).

Its  a great science project topic and cuts down on landfill waste.
