Only certain types of garbage are fit for composting no matter where one lives. A good compost will consist of organic material such as lawn clippings, leaves, plant cuttings. Certain types of household waste can also be added such as vegetable trimmings, fruit peelings, no meat or bones or animal products.

There are actually a very small percentage of Americans who compost or even take the time to recycle. They pay a fee to have private companies pick up their garbage and haul it away to be dumped in a huge pile preferably as far away from their homes as possible, though a few cities have made recycling mandatory.

How much can you compost?

You can compost just about everything organic in your garbage, that is, all food scraps, all kinds of paper and cardboard, natural fiber like cotton and linen. It is recommended that you do not try to compost meat and fish leftovers, as they may smell and attract flies or animals, but if you have a secure compost system, or the meat is buried out of reach of flies, then you can compost them as well. By being careful you can cut down your garbage to a very small amount of plastic wrapping, and, if you are serious about being green, you can arrange your shopping so that you bring home as little of this as possible.

How to Create Natural Lawn Fertilizer?

Chemical lawn fertilizer can be harmful to the environment because it seeps down into the water table and contaminates our drinking water. There are natural alternatives to chemical fertilizers that actually provide more nutrients to your lawn and cost you far less to use. Build a Compost Heap It is simple to create your own compost heap. Simply find a container that is about a square foot wide and has a lid. It can be as deep as you like. Place the container in a corner of your yard that is not used very often. Compost heaps develop an unpleasant odor as they work to decompose the organic material that you will use as a fertilizer, so it is nice to have them located far away from a place where people need to work or play. Make sure you do not alienate your neighbors by placing your compost heap near their back doors. Collect Organic Material Once you have set up your compost container, begin to collect all of the organic garbage that you make in your daily life. The easiest way to do this is to create a separate garbage bin in the kitchen for organic items. You can keep all manner of organic waste to use in your compost heap. Bones, skins, egg shells, and anything else that comes from an animal or plant can be used to create excellent compost. Different kinds of organic materials have different kinds of nutrients, so it is good to have a wide variety of objects. Compost Decomposition Once you have collected the organic garbage, you should place it into your outdoor compost container so that it will decompose naturally. You can help speed up the decomposition process by keeping the compost bin damp and covered so that the compost will continuously break down all of the elements in the garbage. There are compost starters that you can purchase from home and garden stores if you need to use your compost heap as fertilizer before it has time to naturally decompose your garbage. As long as you keep throwing organic garbage on the heap, you will continue creating your own natural fertilizer.
