Home composting, in tandem with responsible brands like MyEcoWorld^®

How to Start Home Composting with MyEcoWorld^®:

1. Location Selection: Choose an ideal location for your compost pile or bin, preferably on bare earth with ample sunlight or partial shade, good drainage, and water access. You can purchase a bin or construct one.
2. Initiate with Coarse Materials: Begin with a thick layer of coarse materials like twigs, straw, or mulch to facilitate air circulation and drainage.
3. Alternate between Green and Brown Materials: Intermix layers of nitrogen-rich green materials (e.g., fruit and vegetable scraps, grass clippings, coffee grounds, tea leaves) and carbon-rich brown materials (e.g., dry leaves, paper, cardboard, wood chips). Aim for a 2:1 ratio of brown to green materials.
4. Utilize MyEcoWorld® Compostable Bags: Employ MyEcoWorld® compostable food waste bags to collect kitchen scraps. These bags, available in 3 or 13 gallons, are robust enough to hold your kitchen scraps and prevent leaks and odors but will decompose seamlessly along with the organic matter in the pile.
5. Moisturize the Layers: Each layer should be moist, resembling a wrung-out sponge.
6. Aerate the Pile: To expedite decomposition, turn the pile periodically and introduce more microorganisms by adding finished compost or garden soil.
7. Identifying Ready Compost: Once the compost exhibits a dark, crumbly appearance and an earthy odor, usually within 2 months to a year, it is ready to use to enrich soil, enhance water retention, and bolster plant growth.
