Composting is a sustainable way to reduce household waste and create nutrient-rich soil for gardening. More than 30% of what we throw away could be composted instead, according to the EPA. Fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells are all compost-friendly, but dairy products, meat, and oils should be avoided. To start composting, you'll need a compost bin and a suitable spot in your yard. Composting is all about balance, with a mix of "greens" and "browns" layered and aerated to create the right conditions for Mother Nature to work her magic. Troubleshooting common composting issues involves adjusting the green and brown balance, ensuring proper aeration and moisture, and being patient. When the compost is dark, crumbly, and smells like fresh earth, it's ready to use in the garden.The post How to compost home food waste? appeared first on Oota Box.
