HOT COMPOST INSTRUCTIONS:
FIRST OFF: NO DIRT, NO BINDWEED, NO CRAB-GRASS, NO BLACKBERRY
1. CHOP all your Dirt-Free green/wet plant matter to BITE SIZE PIECES
(the CLEAVER is in the shed, the Chopping Board is right infront of the
compost bin)
2. ADD the SAME amount of Brown, dry leaves (piled by the bins) to the
chopped greens...SO: 50% GREENS 50% BROWNs
3. Moisten and mix lightly. This green/brown blend should carry the same
moisture as a wrung out sponge.
THAT'S ALL!
ABOVE ALL: do NOT just throw your un-chopped weeds/plants into the bins,
not only is it disrespectful, as someone else will have to do your work,
but it messes up the ecosystem of the living hot compost system, causing
it to die and fail. Find a place in your own plot, (or your home yard
bin) to place your weeds if you are unwilling to chop them yourself.
THANKS!
