The art of making great compost

First...

Start your compost pile on bare earth. Lay twigs or straw first, a few inches deep. Add compost materials in layers, alternating moist and dry. Add manure or any nitrogen source to activate the compost pile and speed up the process. Keep compost moist.

...then

Cover compost with wood, plastic or carpet scraps. Give the pile a weekly turn with a pitchfork or shovel. Add new materials by mixing them with the pile. Keep a working balance between carbon-rich matter and nitrogen/protein-rich matter. A good compost pile is not smelly, but exude a fresh, wonderful smell.
