Properly Maintain your Compost

4 necessary pieces to every Compost pile

Browns and Greens:

A good mix of browns and greens in your compost pile is about 4:1 brown (carbon) to green (nitrogen) and this will ensure a nice dirt smell

Air:

keep aeration by turn regularly with a pitch fork (some compost bins will have a rotate feature)

Water:

keep your compost pile moist like a damp sponge or it will take longer for it to break down, to much water and it will turn slimy
