How to Make Rich Organic Compost at Home

Materials Needed

• Green materials (kitchen waste, grass, leaves)
• Brown materials (dry leaves, maize stalks, cardboard)
• Soil or old compost
• Water

Step-by-Step Method

1. Choose a shaded spot or use a compost bin.
2. Layer brown and green materials (2:1 ratio).
3. Add water to keep moist (like a wrung-out sponge).
4. Turn the pile every 10–14 days.
5. Ready in 6–8 weeks.

Tip: Add chicken manure or cow dung to speed up decomposition and increase nutrients.
