Make Your Own Compost

Making your own compost is really very easy, you just have to have the patience to wait until it is done to use it. To do this, you need to save all of your grass clippings, eggshells, potato peelings, coffee grinds, etc. (Do not use meat, meat products, or dairy products because these can create an odor and attract critters.) Find a spot not too far from the house, and in a spot where sun can get to it without drying it out. You can either make the pile on the ground or buy equipment especially for keeping it stirred up and aerated. The biggest thing is to turn it regularly and keep it moist.
