Maximizing Compost Bin Output

For faster composting, chop materials into smaller pieces before adding them to the bin. Turn the compost regularly to aerate it and speed up decomposition. Keep a balance of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials for optimal composting. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or fatty foods to prevent odors and attract pests. Harvest compost when it’s dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling.
