Northwood, NH -- (SBWire) -- 11/24/2014 --The real hero in "Green" Gardening is the compost bin. By utilizing leaves, grass clippings, fruit skins, and food leftovers, gardeners can create their own compost and give their backyards a healthy fuel. This will not only reduce on waste so home gardeners will save money, but will also enrich the soil with essential nourishment.

Composting is nature's natural way of recycling and converting waste and "natural trash" into a nutritious food for the garden. In addition to supplying a nutritional lift for soil, compost also fights plant disease.

Compost requires a good combination of "green stuff" and "brown stuff." Green stuff is larger in nitrogen content and is the heating element for your compost and gets the heap cooking. The brown stuff, which is loaded with carbon, helps the compost break down. Decayed plants, fall leaves, and dead weeds all work well for compost.  Compost piles should have roughly equivalent quantities of brown and green materials in 2-3" layers for the best compost mix up to a maximum height of around 3 feet in a compost pile.

Starting a compost stack is fairly easy. Gardeners can put compost ready elements in a bin or they can start a pile in a selected area of the garden. Adding a compost starter product, like MrGreen PRO Compost Accelerator, will begin the composting routine as this product delivers additional nutrients necessary to launch the compost process faster.

MrGreen PRO Compost Accelerator uses the power of micronutrients designed and selected for the elements they decompose. It eliminates odors and accelerates composting.

After the accelerator product has been used, the compost components should be watered so they are about as wet as a damp sponge. To support composting continually, green and brown components like leaves, grass clippings, fruit and vegetable skins can be added to it as they are available. The compost stack should be aerated every 6-9 days by scraping through it with a pitchfork.

When it is time to plant and begin the garden, composted items can be processed into the soil for a healthier garden. Plants will be more resistant and sturdy with the use of compost and gardeners will have saved time and money by using nature's own recycling method.
