Domestic composting

The composting is magic and is done quickly if you start with a cubic meter of compost well balanced (3 parts of brown waste for 1 part of green waste).Keep it moist and flip it every week.It is possible to have two good lots of compost each year if you follow these instructions.If you change them, it will just take a little longer, but you can still get some compost.
