Compost Management

Compost management involves the regular care and maintenance of a compost pile or bin to ensure that organic waste decomposes efficiently and produces high-quality compost. This maintenance task includes turning the compost regularly to aerate it, monitoring moisture levels, and balancing the mix of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials. Proper compost management also involves adding new organic material as it becomes available and removing finished compost for use in the garden. By managing the compost pile effectively, gardeners can speed up the decomposition process and produce nutrient-rich compost that improves soil health, enhances plant growth, and supports sustainable gardening practices.
