Making your own compost for your yard is a brilliant way to repurpose organic waste, like food and plant scraps, and feed your plants with a whole host of nutrients that support strong and healthy growth. If you're looking for a sustainable gardening goal to add to your resolutions for the incoming year, composting is a great place to get started.
There's a real science behind being able to successfully make compost. Not only do you need to know how to do it and what composting mistakes to avoid, it's also key to understand the timeline of composting. Depending on the size of your compost heap, you can turn your compost materials into ready-to-use compost in as little as a few months. Factors such as how often you add to your heap impact how quickly your materials break down. The timing for starting your compost heap is also something to consider.
