Answer 2

Start saving your veggie and fruit peels, leaves, grass cuttings, egg shells and make a compost bin in your yard. It doesn't have to be too big but would be good to have 2 compartments. This year if you add all the above mentions things you can start to fill up one compartment. Cover the material with dirt when you add new material. Turn the contents of your bin every week or so and keep it moist. You will notice that it is decaying and will find worms in it--this is good. Next year shovel this pile into the empty bin and use this for your veggies. Start over in the new bin and continue this for as long as you want. You can also add the veggie leaves from your garden when you clean it up at the end of the season. If you have a wood stove you can add some of the ashes too.

Answer 3

I used to keep a compost pile, where I put my fruit & veggie & garden wastes, raked leaves, egg shells, etc. It worked fine, but I have simplified my system. I have chickens, ducks and geese, and I feed all the scraps to them. They "recycle" it for me, providing me with eggs and also with their poopy straw. I dig out the poopy straw from their enclosed pens and pile it up a foot deep in my garden, on a place where I am currently not growing anything (a fallow area.) Then I don't do anything to it for a year except to water it often enough to keep it slightly moist, like the dampness of a wrung-out sponge. The next spring, it has decomposed into a lovely compost. I take as much as I need for my other garden areas, then I dig the rest of it into the soil and have an incredibly rich garden bed for planting. You can use the same system for any "farm animal" manure you can get - rabbits, cows, goats, horses, anything that is not a meat-eater. Often farmers and hobbyists are glad to give away manure to anyone who will take it.

Answer 4

I have a 4 foot high, 4 or 5 foot round cage and daily place veggie and fruit peelings, coffee ground, tea leaves, grass clippings and leave..generally things that decompose and that it.
Stir occassionally and water it lightly once in a while. It works.

Answer 5

JUST DIG A HOLE ABOUT TWO FT. DEEP .... AT THE FAR END OF GARDEN...GRASS CLIPPINGS PLANT PARTS FROM TRMMING VEG GARBAGE LIKE TOMATO ENDS POTATO PEELINGS ETC FROM DINNER PREPARATION OLD RINDS FROM MELONS AND STUFF . ITS HOMEMADE FERTILIZER COMPOST. YOU GET TO USE IT THE FOLLOWING YEAR. EACH TIME YOU PUT SOMETHING IN THROW A SHOVEL OF SOIL OVER IT... IF YOU LIVE NEAR A HORSE FARM YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE MANURE TO THE PILE . YOU CANT USE IT FOR ANOTHER YEAR BECAUSE IT WILL BE TOO TOXIC...BUT IT WORKS.
