Good post. Wow it take such a long time to make homemade compist but if you could recycle garbage, then it is worth to try it out.

I have many pits and I get compost round the year. I do not use artificial fertilisers in my garden

Yes it is a good article on how put aside extra material as leaves, garbage…Before you start piling on, recognize that there are two types of composting: cold and hot.

Cold composting is as simple as collecting yard waste or taking out the organic materials in your trash (such as fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds and filters, and eggshells) and then corralling them in a pile or bin. Over the course of a year or so, the material will decompose.

Hot composting is for the more serious gardener, and you get compost in one to three months during warm weather. Four ingredients are required for fast-cooking hot compost: nitrogen, carbon, air, and water. Together, these items feed microorganisms, which speed up the process of decay

To create your own organic hot-compost heap, wait until you have enough materials to make a pile at least 3 feet deep. Then, to ensure an even composition of materials, create alternating 4- to 8-inch-deep layers of green materials (kitchen scraps, fresh leaves, coffee grounds) and brown materials (dried leaves, shredded paper, untreated sawdust).

Sprinkle water over the pile regularly so it has the consistency of a damp sponge. Don’t add too much water — otherwise the microorganisms in your pile will become waterlogged and drown. If this happens, your pile will rot instead of compost.

Check to see if your pile is decomposing by monitoring temperature. Check the temperature of the pile with a thermometer, or simply reach into the middle of the pile with your hand.

We have small bins where we mix soil and vegetable and fruit peelings. We turn this compost every time and leave it open so it will get some moisture. Here in the tropics, it’s somewhat easy to generate your own compost pile.
