Attention to the following parameters will help you get started. Materials Anything that was once alive will naturally decompose. However, some organic wastes should not be composted at home. To prepare compost, organic material, microorganisms, air, water, and a small amount of nitrogen are needed. Organic material is leaves, grass clippings, etc. that you are trying to decompose.
Microorganisms are small forms of plant and animal life, which break down the organic material.
A small amount of garden soil or manure provides sufficient microorganisms. The nitrogen, air, and water provide a favorable environment for the microorganisms to make the compost.
