Creating compost is indeed child’s play and one does not need any rocket technology to create good compost. All the materials needed to create compost are in the garden already, including the microorganism and worms that speed up the process.

It needs very little effort to create a space for the garden pile to be placed in the pit. An area of about ten feet is enough to pile up the fallen leaves, some grass cuttings, straw vegetable leftovers and any other organic material that is found around.

When the pile is about one to two meters high, a small opening is to be made to trap the rain water because the pile should be moist and not wet. If there is excess water, it would block the circulation of air which is very essential for composting. Air is necessary for the worms and microorganisms that reside in the pile but it should be ensured that the pile is not very loose, either. This helps to retain the heat that occurs during the process, which is also essential.

Some additives like lime, phosphate and raw bone meal help to speed up the process of composting and also enrich the compost. It is better to add the materials for composting in layers. Manure is also a good constituent of compost material, just a few inches of manure for every foot of compost would do.

After a few weeks, the compost pile has to be turned and stirred to compost uniformly, through out. The garden plants would love to have this rich compost and be ready to yield bigger and more nutritious vegetables and better flowers.
