How to make homemade compost easily

 Compost is an essential ingredient for gardening . While there are are number of options for fertilizing your plants , organic compost stands out best with respect to the fact that it not only promotes the plant growth it helps in improving the quality of soil. 

                                                                         

It is pleasant to know that inclination towards gardening has tremendously increased after the pandemic happened as staying home was a prerequisite for the situation . Home made compost is one of the best product for gardening  that should be taken seriously by the avid Gardeners due to many underlying advantages it has in your garden.

Process of making Homemade compost

There are many ways in which  you can make compost at your home without requiring anything to buy from the market. 

                                                                     

The best way which is practically possible and gives you good result at the end of complete process is piling up dried leaves , vegetable and fruit scrapes in a vacant space or in a bin .Now adding little water in every ten days and then  we should just  observe the decomposition process of all of the stuff         happening gradually .  The entire process of turning dried leaves and scraps in to usable compost   may take somewhere between 180 to 200 days depending upon the weather conditions. 

    Important things to be considered while making home made compost :                                                         

 - It should be considered that while adding food and plant waste like vegetable and fruit scrapes  in the process of making compost items involving products obtained from  animals directly or indirectly should be avoided    in making compost,

- It should be considered that composting process should be carried on while keeping covered the compost bin   for the promotion of decomposition process effectively.
