Organic Gardening Compost

You can buy Organic gardening compost locally or you it is quite easy to make your own kind of compost by using the left over food that you have on a daily basis. Obtain a composter bin (some councils in the UK wil provide one for free or at a discount!) or simply creating an area where your compostable rubbish can be stored, this material will decompose over time and makes an excellent fertilizer for your organic garden.

Typically, an ideal mix for any kind of organic compost would be equal amounts of soft and green material such as manure, vegtable matter and leaves that are readily available to most householders. Additionally, hard and brown material such as dead wood or chopped up twigs can be used to help balance your organic gardening compost mixture. A simple thing such as taking the clippings from your lawn and the prunings from your hedge can add to your compost pile quite quickly.

The ideal size of a compost pile could be anywhere from three to 4 feet high unless of course you are using an organic compost bin. The key is to make sure there is significant air for aeration of the compost. Using a large stick or a pitchfork to continually aerate were pile will help the organic composting process along quite nicely. Other people have used PVC pipes to help aerate larger compost piles with great success.
