Backyard Composting
Learn about backyard composting methods including: fast (also called batch or hot composting), and slow (also known as you go or cold) composting. With the faster hot composting method, the end product can be made faster, but the amount of work needed to turn and monitor your pile is greater. With cold composting, not as much work is needed, but it can take up to a year to get usable compost.
Learn how to build and construct a hot compost pile using the SMART method.
