Step 3
In your backyard, you can collect green and brown materials in your new compost collection site. Green materials tend to be wet, and include your fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and tea leaves. Brown materials are drier, like sawdust, newspaper clippings, and trimmings from dead plants. Every week, turn your compost pile with a shovel so oxygen can be added to the mix and add water to moisture. Make sure to avoid any pests or diseases. Let nature do the trick and after a few months, you will find that the compost turned into healthy soil for your plants.
