If you want to produce more compost in a much quicker time, and are able to put a little more effort into it, follow the ‘HOT Compost Pile’ option. For some of the easy vegetables to grow you’ll find these tips helpful.

    1.         Collect together a batch of compost materials.  Start off with some grass clippings, weeds and some chopped up limbs and leaves.  Put the limbs and twigs on the bottom so that the compost pile will naturally aerate.  Try to get it at least one foot high.  Add your kitchen “slop bucket” daily. 

(Go to Step 2, or jump to the ‘HOT Compost Pile’ Step 2 if you can make the time.)

    2.         Just slowly build up your heap evenly distributing your composting materials.

    3.         Paper towels, cardboard and egg cartons make a good addition.  Be sure to wet these down thoroughly so they will break down quicker. .

    4.         Go to Step 4, or take a detour via the ‘HOT Compost Pile’ Step 4 on the way if you are energetic enough to turn it.

    5.         As you add contents to the composting area it should start to settle over time.

    6.         After about 6-8 weeks you should have a compost pile that is nearly ready to go. What you are looking for is a dark brown, earthy smelling material.  Check your pile.  If the lower layers have composted, use this on the garden. If need be you can separate what is already composted from what still needs to “cook” a little longer.  Add water if needed and then leave it to rot.
