Composting Tips
• Turn your compost often (once or twice a week is ideal) to allow air to circulate. This
will accelerate decomposition by providing microbes with necessary oxygen.
• Locate your compost pile in a convenient location with good drainage, where it will
receive about half a day of sun and remain moist and warm (between 110º–160º at the
center of the pile).
• Locate your compost pile in an area that is not readily visible to neighbors or easily
accessible to animals (try camouflaging with a vine-covered trellis or fence).
• Limit the size of your compost pile to no larger than 5'x5'.
• Layer your compost pile on bare ground with organic materials (vegetable waste, lawn
clippings, garden debris) on the bottom, fertilizers or starters in the middle, and top soil
or active compost on the top.
