Composting can be made with discarded baskets and trays, and novice compost can also be made.

If you don't have a big yard and want to make your own compost, you can try buying some compost barrels or making some simple compost tools. In fact, you can make compost by preparing a basket, sieve or tray. The following methods are all self-made compost in a small space.

Compost prepared materials:

Composting in small spaces In order to prevent too much odor and avoid insects, clean composting materials should be used. The most commonly used ones are fallen leaves, vegetable leaves, peels, bean dregs, coffee grounds, tea grounds and egg shells. Do not put in compost common dairy products, dairy products, meat products or other cooked materials in life.

Compost materials should be cut into small pieces before being put into compost to increase the rate of decomposition and fermentation. Also, be careful not to put them in places with excessive shade or exposure.

The following is a common tray, usually used for seedling, black plastic tray has a certain heat absorption effect, there are some small holes at the bottom, used to make compost is no problem, they are also very light, in the production of compost when you need to fill the entire basket with various materials.

I put it directly on the soil for composting. The amount of compost I make is very limited. Let's see how the compost I make works.

First of all, I have to prepare enough materials. I usually collect some fallen leaves in the park, some peels and leaves, some I will chop up specially, and some are common small branches and leaves, roots of plants, egg shells, tea grounds and coffee grounds produced in the kitchen. Of course, I also mix appropriate garden soil.

Put in a semi-shady, warm and humid environment, avoid excessive drought or humidity, stir regularly, they will decompose faster, later I found that the side of the compost material is difficult to decompose, almost four months later, these compost materials mixed in a small container inside, almost all decomposed, as can be seen from the figure below, these compost materials are almost decomposed.

Finally, I made an improved version of the compost bin. At the bottom was a grid-like barbed wire fence, and on the side were some wooden boards. In fact, it was a common screen in our life. At the bottom, I could put a few more layers. At the bottom, I would put some containers to hold the dripping fertilizer water. The fertilizer water obtained could be directly mixed with water to irrigate flowers.

At the same time, in order to increase the decomposition and fermentation speed of compost, I also bought some earthworms from the market. They can help to decompose and ferment faster. In summer, when the temperature is higher, it takes less than 3 months to get fertile, loose, breathable and well-drained compost soil.

Composting tools are used above these screens, usually piled in the utility room, now is the best use, it feels quite practical, used for composting is very good, now the bottom is covered with a layer of small branches, forming a layer of filter layer.
