Gives you a rich organic product to nourish your lawn and plants which eliminates the need for fertilizer and reduces watering needs. Place your composter on solid well drained ground. Pick a convenient location that is partly sunny such as near your side or back door. As long as your composter contains organic materials, decomposition will happen. A little tending can speed it up.
Decomposition needs air.
Turn or poke the contents of your composter every week to allow air to penetrate. If it is too dry, water them or add squishy fruit and vegetable scraps. Involve your family with the care and feeding of your composter, and soon it will be part of the household routine. Your compost could be ready in approximately three months depending on conditions. Sunny locations produce compost faster.
