Boost Your Garden Naturally with Organic Composting & GuanoBoost!
Organic composting is an eco-friendly practice that transforms kitchen scraps and organic waste into nutrient-rich fertiliser, enhancing plant growth and reducing landfill contributions. In South Africa, where fresh produce often goes to waste, adopting composting can significantly benefit both your garden and the environment.
Five Simple Steps to Effective Organic Composting
1. Select the Right Composting Bin
Choose a sturdy container with a secure lid to house your compost. Position it in a convenient location, ensuring that any odours won't disrupt your living spaces.
2. Incorporate Essential Brown Materials
Brown materials, rich in carbon, are vital for balanced compost. Include items like newspapers, paper plates, cups, wooden utensils, and dried leaves. Avoid adding plastics, tape, or staples, as they do not decompose and can contaminate your compost.
3. Add Green Materials from Your Kitchen and Garden
Green materials provide nitrogen, crucial for composting. Collect vegetable peels, fruit scraps, onion skins, grass clippings, eggshells, coffee grounds, and compostable tea bags. These components accelerate the decomposition process.
4. Maintain and Aerate Your Compost
Regularly turn your compost every three to seven days to introduce air, which aids decomposition. Monitor moisture levels, ensuring the compost remains damp but not waterlogged.
5. Utilise the Finished Compost in Your Garden
Once your compost achieves a dark, soil-like texture, it's ready to enrich your garden. Apply it to vegetable beds, mix it into soil, or spread it over your lawn to boost fertility and plant health.
