2-PILE/HEAP COMPOSTING

Pile up the waste with proper layering and cover it with the plastic sheet to avoid excessive rainwater and early morning moisture.

Make a hole or den in your lawn and fill it with waste material with layering. Shuffle it time to time and cover to avoid rainwater.

4-TUMBLER COMPOSTING

It is the best way to composting; you can add the material in purpose made tumbler drum. It is easy to shuffle or move. It mixes the material very well.

5-VERMI COMPOSTING

Vermi or Worm composting is an amazing way of composting. You can place a container, large tray or bin in a dark and moist place such as, under the sink, in your garage or in storage. Fill it with waste and add worms (Red wigglers are a good choice) and cover them with light and dry material of dry leaves or small pieces of newspaper. Now, leave everything to the worms. They will eat the waste and turn it into useful material.

Keep it moist but avoid overwatering as excessive water can drown the worms. You should also keep it away from direct, or excess heat as more temperature can be fatal for worms.
