Compost Pile To Feed Your Garden

It is true, eventually all organic waste will decompose when exposed to the right conditions and given enough time. Of course, that doesn't mean that if you are cultivating a compost pile that you want to throw anything and everything that is organic into the mix.

But, if you need a way to recycle your yard waste, such as leaves, lawn clippings, and shrub and hedge trimmings, then the compost heap is an effective way.

If you have twigs, branches or logs that are bigger than a quarter of an inch in diameter, then those need to be put through a shredder or grinder before going onto the compost pile. Another option, if you don't have a shredder available, is to use a corn knife to cut those items into pieces that are small enough to easily decompose.

It is a good idea to keep the compost pile contained in a structure of some kind. This not only helps speed up the decomposition process, but it also minimizes the space needed.

You can pick up composter bins at most local garden stores and these are a very good way to help you manage your composting while also helping to keep your backyard looking clean and tidy.
