Water the heap if the waste is dry or woody. A watering can holding between 5 & 8 litres (1 to 1½ gallons) is ideal as this should ensure that the new material is thoroughly wet Repeat each time a layer of fresh material is added. When the compost heap is full, leave for 6-8 weeks to compost down completely. Only add fresh material such as lawn clippings, garden weeds & raw kitchen vegetable peelings. Never add cooked food of any kind as this can attract vermin. Shred or cut waste into smaller pieces where possible, especially woody stems. Cover the heap to retain moisture. Turn heap regularly in order to allow in air which is needed for the composting process & for faster results. When ready, spread the compost on your garden as a mulch or soil improver, leaving any material not fully composted as the base for a new heap.
