Composting is one of those things that everyone agrees is good. There are literally no downsides, only benefits. Composting creates nutrient-dense, well-fertilized soil. Composting means "food waste" is no longer wasteful. Composting is better for the environment. Composting organic materials is more productive than simply throwing them away into a landfill. Composting is passive income. You're not actively breaking down the organic materials. You're not doing anything except throwing it in the pile or in the container. The microbes handle the rest and you get the benefit. From all perspectives, composting is a smart move. If you just want a healthier garden, composting does that. If you want to improve soil health and fight soil nutrient deficiencies, composting does that. If you want to fight environmental degradation, composting does that. If you just want less stuff in your trash can and in the landfill, composting does that. There's no reason not to compost. Even if you live in a small space without a yard, you can participate. But how do you get started? The week of Feb 21, 2022, Primal Kitchen is featuring ways to cut down on food waste. Find food waste facts, waste reduction tips, exclusive recipes, and resources from the Farmlink Project by signing up here. All week, MDA will be featuring posts that can help you get the most bang for your grocery budget and minimize food waste to boot! How to Get Started Composting The basic way to get started is to just get started. First, figure out what can and can't be composted: What to Compost Vegetable and fruit scraps Coffee grounds and paper filters Teabags, old tea leaves Unglossy/matte paper products and cardboard products (including PrimalKitchen.com kraft paper used in shipping!) Yard clippings Leaves, grass Hay and straw Untreated wood chips, sawdust, wood scraps, toothpicks Wine corks Tissues Eggshells (crushed best) Fur, hair, feathers Manure Old bread, cooked pasta Cotton, wool, linen What Not to Compost Plastic Glossy paper products—magazines, "shiny" paper Metal Stone Glass Large branches, wood rounds Pet and human waste Treated wood chips, sawdust, wood scraps Synthetic fabrics Oil So, do you just throw everything from the "What to Compost" list in a big pile or bin out in the yard? Not exactly. You should think of compostable materials in terms of "greens" and "browns." Greens are wetter materials, higher in nitrogen. Browns are drier, higher in carbon. Greens include: Most kitchen scraps Manure Coffee grounds Fresh (green) grass, leaves, and yard clippings Browns include: Wood scraps, dust, chips Paper, cardboard Hay Dried (brown) grass, leaves, and yard clippings Egg shells Ratio: You want more browns than greens in your compost pile or bin. It doesn't have to be an exact ratio, but somewhere between 4:1 and 2:1 brown:green is good. "More browns than greens" is good enough. It's not an exact science, more an art. Your compost should be moist, not soaking wet. It shouldn't be dry, it shouldn't be slimy, it should be juuuust right. Layers: You should … Continue reading "How to Start Composting"
