1. Organic materials - This can be the leftover you had on dinner, fruit and vegetable waste, leaves, woods etc.
2. Air - Place your compost in an open air.
3. Water - Make sure that there is enough water to help the bacteria and other organisms break down the materials in your compost and turn them into fertilizers.
4. Gardening tools - Tools like rake, spade and fork would be useful.
Actually you do not need many things when making a compost fertilizer but how you do it makes it more important. There are so many things to keep in mind in order to turn your garbage into something worth consuming for your plants.
You should remember that not all garbage can be use to make a compost. Avoid putting in human waste, cat or dog waste, plastics, big piece of wood which does not only include trunks but as well as branches (you will need to trim or cut this into small pieces), metals. Also, keep in mind not to place too much water in your compost pit, it would be better if your compost is dry than overflowing with water. And you know what the good thing about making compost is? You can make use of your old newsprint.
You have to place it in a container with water and let it stay overnight then transfer it in your compost pit. If you want your compost healthier you can opt to use urine instead of water to provide he necessary hydration of your compost. The acid content can help in breaking up the solid materials and the nitrogen have vitamins and minerals from our body are also great for plants. Now, you can use the urine 'pure' or you can mix it with water and pour it straight to the compost.
