Guide how to make a bucket of compost

  1. Who are not familiar with composting do not understand that when it comes to composting, worms do all the work. All that you really need to do is to provide the worms with a home (a bucket and some soil). After, feed worms with useless food waste, in your hand-made bucket of compost. Worms convert garbage into compost.
  2. Close the bottom of the bucket with chopped paper. At the top, on paper, mash at least 15 centimeters of soil.
  3. Add some red worms at the soil. It is simple worms for fishing. You can find them after the rain, these worms can be easily found on the ground. Red worms can also be purchased online.
  4. Place any food waste, from fruit to vegetables, there, in a compost pail. Some eggshell or some coffee wastes are also good at composting. Do not put greasy food or meat, in a compost pail. They will make the compost rotten and smells not well. In the self-made bucket with the compost where food wastes are carefully selected, will be no smell.
  5. Put your homemade bucket with the compost in the garage, or in the kitchen of your house. Cover it with a suitable lid. A bucket with compost should remain warm, so it will be a good idea to keep it at home or another warm place (the more it warm, the better) in winter.
