STEP 1: COMBINE GREEN AND BROWN

MATERIALS
For best results, start
building your compost pile
by mixing three parts
brown with one part
green materials. Brown
materials add carbon while
green materials add
nitrogen.

STEP 3: STIR UP YOUR PILE

During the growing season,
you should provide the pile
with oxygen by turning it
once a week with a
garden fork. The best time
to turn the compost is when
the center of the pile feels
warm or when a
thermometer reads between
130 and 150°F.

STEP 4: FEED YOUR GARDEN

When the compost no longer
gives off heat and becomes
dry, brown, and crumbly,
it's fully cooked and ready
to feed to the garden. Add
about 4 to 6 inches of
compost your flower beds
and into your pots at the
beginning of each planting
