Composting Kitchen Scraps

Turn scraps into soil

Kitchen scrap composting balances green nitrogen sources with brown carbon sources, keeps piles aerated and moist like a wrung sponge, and avoids meat or dairy to prevent pests and odors.

Balance Mix

Combine greens (scraps, coffee) with browns (leaves, cardboard) about 1:2 by volume.

Aerate and Moisture

Turn weekly; keep moisture like a wrung sponge to speed decomposition.

Keep It Clean

Avoid meat/dairy; cover food scraps to deter pests and odors.
