The Fastest Way to Make Compost: 5 Easy Steps

Description:

Tired of opening your compost bin and finding the exact same pile of half rotten leaves you dumped in six months ago? You are not doing anything wrong, you are just missing a few easy adjustments. In this video I break down five easy ways to make compost faster using stuff you probably already have in your yard or kitchen right now, no expensive tumblers, no fancy activator powders needed.

You will learn how to fix a compost pile that will not heat up, how to stop that rotten egg or ammonia smell, how to get your carbon to nitrogen ratio right without a lab, how big your pile actually needs to be, and how to know when to turn it. I am also sharing a bonus method most people have never tried that lets you compost meat, dairy, and cooked food scraps, plus a simple freezer trick that speeds up worm composting.

If you are into organic gardening, growing your own food, or just want to stop wasting kitchen scraps, this one is for you.
