You can use the compost produced in your flower and plant boxes or as a reinforcement layer for your lawn, give it as nutritious fertilizers to your growing vegetables and even more.
Types of composts
Before you start collecting materials for compost production, know that there are two types of compost, hot compost and cold compost.
Making cold compost is as easy as separating your plant waste and organic waste from the garbage.
Organic waste such as fruit, vegetable, coffee and tea grounds and egg shells.
and then put them in a container and let it sit for a year or so and then it will decompose. Hot compost requires more gardening skills but is faster in hot seasons between one and three months. It takes time for your compost to be ready.
These four items are needed to produce this fast compost:
Nitrogen
Carbon
Air
Water
At the same time, these materials feed the micro-organisms, which accelerates the decomposition of organic materials.
Vermicomposts are compost produced by worms. When the worms eat the rest of your food, they produce their own excrement, which contains nitrogen. However, you cannot use any kind of worm for this, you must use red worms. whose other name is RED WIGGLERS, let's use it to produce compost.

In order to make your own warm compost pile, it is better to have enough materials for about 90 cm deep.
You have to mix wet and green ingredients with dry and brown ingredients. Then start making your compost with green and brown items, if you see that your compost bin looks too wet and smelly add more brown and dry items and if your compost looks too brown and dry Add more green items and a little water to make it moist.
second step
Water your compost pile: Always sprinkle water on your compost pile so that it is always like a wet sponge.
