Composting is a great way to keep food scraps and plant clippings out of the landfill, while creating a valuable garden resource for free. However, getting the process right is a bit of a science and some problems can arise.
For instance, your bin may be taking much longer than expected to produce a usable amount of compost. Or, the heap inside may start to smell bad, or look a little slimy. There are also practical errors that are often overlooked, such as putting the heap somewhere that's tricky to reach. But all composting problems can be avoided with the right know-how, which is where this guide can help.
