How do you start/begin composting?

Question

I've got a container?

Dfm · Answer

anything that was green and growing can be made into compost. no oils in a compost pile. grass clippings, wood chips, all good. some have an actual pile that is stirred, I have a tumbler to put mine in. bacteria break down pile, some areas carry a compost starter. the compost is ready to use when it looks like a dark dirt.
