The Lazy Lady's Guide to Composting and Gardening
Are you interested in composting but find the process too labor-intensive? Well, I've got good news for you! Composting doesn't have to be a chore; in fact, it can be quite simple and even a bit lazy. Here's how you can easily turn your kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich compost without breaking a sweat.
The Lazy Lady's Composting Method:
Step 1: Layering
Start by finding a suitable container for your compost. This could be a recycled bin, bucket, cooler, or ice chest—anything with a lid will do.
Begin by layering the bottom of your container with bedding. You can use cardboard or shredded paper for this purpose. This layer will help with aeration and drainage.
Step 2: Adding Red Wiggler Worms
Introduce red wiggler worms to your compost bin. These worms are composting powerhouses, helping to break down organic matter quickly.
Step 3: Adding Waste
Time to add your kitchen scraps. You may include:
- Fruits and vegetables (Uncooked)
- Coffee grounds
- Eggshells
- Dryer lint
- Used paper towels (as long as they're not soiled with oil or dairy products)
- Hair from brushes, combs, or even pet hair
- Water from fish tanks
- Grass clippings
- Old plants and leaves
Simply toss these items into your container on top of the bedding layer.
Step 4: Keeping It Moist
It's essential to keep your compost container moist, like a squeezed sponge. Check the moisture level regularly and add water if necessary. A good rule of thumb is to keep the compost as damp as a wrung-out sponge.
Step 5: Covering Up
Once you've added your kitchen and yard waste, cover it. This could be done with a layer of damp, un-shiny paper. newspaper, cardboard, or even some dirt or soil that needs to be worked.
Repeat this layering process each time you add more waste to your compost container.
Why This Works:
This lazy lady's composting method works because it's simple and requires minimal effort. By layering your kitchen and yard waste with bedding materials, adding red wiggler worms, and keeping the compost moist, you create the perfect environment for decomposition to occur.
Over time, the waste will break down, thanks to the help of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, along with the red wiggler worms, turning into nutrient-rich compost that you can use to feed your garden and plants.
#CallToAction:
