Composting has become more popular as we are more aware of our impact on the environment and strive to be more eco-friendly.

However, it’s been around in its current method for over 100 years and is something that gardeners do religiously to ensure healthy, hearty plants.

If you’re interested in getting started composting, keep reading!

Additionally, if you want to lower your carbon footprint, composting will allow you to do that as well. Composting allows you to save food scraps and yard waste from landfills by using them in your compost instead. This reduces the amount of methane emissions from landfills while benefiting your garden.

What Can You Compost?

While there is quite a bit of your household trash that you can compost (generally about 30% of household waste), not everything is compostable.

Below you’ll find a list of what you can and can’t compost. When you’re a beginner to composting, it may be helpful to print a list and keep it handy so you can reference it as you’re adding items to your compost.

How to Start Composting

The first thing you’ll need to understand is that you need an equal balance of materials for good compost. The three main “ingredients” to your compost should include:

Browns: Dead leaves, branches, and twigs, etc.

Greens: Grass clippings, vegetable scraps, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, etc.

Water: Moisture is essential for compost development (don’t let it dry out!)

The brown provides carbon while the green provides nitrogen. Having a balance of brown and green is important and layering organic materials of different sizes is something to keep in mind when you’re adding to your compost.

While it seems a bit complicated at first, composting is actually quite simple once you get started and can start to see the results of your labor. Plus, the benefits for the environment, and your garden, are completely worth it!
