-Start your compost pile on bare earth:This allows worms and other beneficial organisms to aerate the compost and be transported to your garden beds.
-Add compost materials in layers, alternating moist and dry:Moist ingredients are food scraps, tea bags, seaweed, etc. Dry materials are straw, leaves, sawdust pellets and wood ashes.
-Add manure:green manure ( clover, buckwheat, wheatgrass, grass clippings) or any nitrogen source. This activates the compost pile and speeds the process along.
