Getting Started

An important first step to getting started is to place your composter in a sunny area with good drainage. Make sure that the location is convenient and accessible year round.
Turn soil where composter will be located. After placing composter, cover floor of it with layer of small branches - allowing for air movement and drainage. Alternate wet (e.g., kitchen scraps), and dry (e.g., yard materials) waste. If available, add some "finished" compost, garden soil or compost starter (available at most garden centres) to the pile. This helps speed up start of composting process.
