How to hot compost
Collect the materials you need.
Recycle your kitchen and garden organic waste by first accumulating it in a cool, preferably shaded, part of the garden. Chop the waste into small pieces.
This helps the microbes and worms break it down quickly. You can use a garden shredder, you can run over it with a lawn mower or you can use a sharp spade.
