More and more people are going back to basics and growing their own vegetables at home. Not only are they cheaper for them but better for the environment. Composting at home also has great benefits to the environment, and enables you to get rid of your food scraps. Composting this way provides you with healthy soil which will help you grow bigger and better crops.

A large number of people are now choosing to compost at home, they realize this is a better option than filling the landfills with food waste. The whole concept of composting at home may seem daunting, but it is very easy to do. Once your compost is established, it takes very little work and time but the benefits are huge. Once you get started then nature literally takes over, the hardest part is setting your compost pile up. It can take up to 12 months for your scraps to turn into soil, so you will have to be patient, and with small children this can difficult.

The easiest way to compost, is to have a small composting bin in your kitchen. Every time you finish a meal simply put your scraps in the bin, any food waste can go in there. Fruits and vegetables are ideal but, meats, bones and salty foods should be avoided. You can even put in coffee filters, shells and peels, all of these are great. It is very important to keep your kitchen compost bin covered or it will smell. If you don't like this option then you can carry your scraps out to the larger compost bin after every meal.

You can make a compost pile very easily; either simply piles the waste up although this could cause problems as the pile grows in size. The better option is to contain the waste in either a large drum, metal container or in a purpose built compost bin. These can be bought from your local gardening store. These can be as large or as small as you want; you will need to consider where in your yard you are aiming to place the compost bin. Although it is part of your garden you do not want it to dominate it. Your outdoor compost bin needs other things as well as waste food; it will need moisture so the food will decompose better. You will also need dry materials like, hay, straw or grass cuttings; these produce nitrogen which helps with the composting process. You can even place in small amounts of paper or cardboard.

You will need to place your compost bin in the direct sunlight, as the heat will speed up the decomposition process. Adding water to keep the compost moist is essential, but don't make it soggy, if you have ants in your pile then it is far too dry. Once a week you will need to turn the compost pile this allows air to penetrate the food scraps. A worry about home compost bins is that they smell, but surprisingly very little odor comes from them. If kept correctly, and looked after well you will have a fantastic home compost pile.
