This document describes how to compost at home.
This guide from the County of San Bernardino explains how to compost at home using a 50/50 mix of green and brown materials. It covers what to compost, what not to, pile size, moisture, and turning. It also includes troubleshooting tips and how to use finished compost. Grasscycling is promoted as a way to reduce waste and enrich soil naturally.
The guide is designed for homeowners and includes practical advice for different seasons, such as using leaves in the fall and grass clippings in the summer. It emphasizes avoiding contaminants like meat, dairy, and pet waste, and provides solutions for common problems like bad odors or slow decomposition.
It depends, but a good rule of thumb is to build a pile that has about 50% green materials and 50% brown materials.
In as little as 8-10 weeks, compost will be ready to use in your garden or yard.
Mix the pile, or add in more brown material. Add greens in a thin layer.
