 Composting
The organic matter provided in compost, provides food for microorganisms, whose job is to keep your soil in a healthy, balanced condition. There are two ways to start composting, actively or passively. The more time you invest, the more fertilizer it will yield. Using an organic compost starter such as Ringer® Compost Plus Organic Compost Starter will allow you to quickly begin your compost process, and allow you to take back control of your soil. | | How to Compost A proper ratio of ‘brown’ or carbon-rich items (dried leaves, straw, wood chips) to ‘green’ or nitrogen-rich (grass clippings and kitchen scraps) items are needed to create a good compost. There are two ways to make compost, actively or passively: Active composting is highly-involved. The more time you invest, ultimately the more fertilizer it will yield. Being active in the process involves occasional turning of the pile, shredding of the waste material (heats up and decomposes quicker). Passive composting is just as it sounds. You place your waste in your compost bin and leave it alone, only adding to the pile. Eventually (usually in a year or two) you have your finished product with minimal interaction. 
Using a product such as Ringer® Compost Plus Organic Compost Starter will allow you to break down 500-750lbs of organic material into compost... allowing you to provide healthy nutrients to your soil.
