EARTH DAY TIP: MAKING COMPOST FASTER!/ EdenMakers

Earth Day Tip of the Day! Learn the secret to making COMPOST FASTER by pre-composting. It's a simple step that reduces the time you have to wait to use your compost in your organic garden!

EdenMaker, Shirley Bovshow shows how to shred your green materials like kitchen scraps and lawn clippings which contribute nitrogen to your compost pile.

Shirley also describes the importance of including carbon-rich material in your compost pile, known as "browns" like dried leaves, dried stems, and paper. If you have limited space, take your shredded compost materials and bury them in your garden where they can break down and nourish your soil.

You can also make a small composter using a 5 gallon bucket with a lid that has holes for good air circulation.

Learn how to pre-compost with Shirley Bovshow and reuse your compostable material for a greener garden! Compost is a natural fertilizer for your organic garden.
