Making compost at home is easy and shouldn’t require much work at all.
One of the better methods of starting your compost pile is to do so in levels. You can start with leaves and your lawn cuttings, then add some soil and next your kitchen scraps. Then layer again as before and you can even decide to add manure.

Additional items to include in your compost pile could be coffee grounds, leaves, grass and manure. Don’t include any meat or dairy food in your pile as this may result in rotting instead of decomposing and will bring in rodents.

With just a little effort, you can have great compost made at home within just a few short months.
