Compost

Basic Composting
The basics of composting just involve letting natural materials break down to create a healthy and nutritious source of matter for plants and soil to feed on.

Even certain animals provide excrement that can be useful for composting (i.e. chickens, ducks, rabbits)

Browns and Greens
The rule of thumb for composting is use lots of Browns and Greens, and avoid any Reds.

Add plenty of fallen leaves, grass clippings, plant-based kitchen scraps, chopped foliage and the like make for great fertilizer.

Reds
Raw or cooked meats, rotten material, or the excrement from carnivores or meat-eating omnivores should be avoided.
