About Composting
Eartheasy's composting guide, written by Greg Seaman, explains how to compost at home step by step. It covers what materials to add to a compost pile or bin and what to leave out, and it describes how kitchen scraps and yard waste can be turned into soil for a garden. The guide is written for beginners.
The guide describes several setups, from simple open piles to enclosed bins, tumblers and worm composters. It recommends a ratio of one-third green (nitrogen-rich) materials to two-thirds brown (carbon-rich) materials for faster decomposition. The page states that composting can divert up to 30% of household waste from landfills. The site is operated by Eartheasy, which also sells gardening products, and its navigation shows a shop section.
