Step 1:

If possible, shred Compostaboard into strips and combine with high carbon materials such as straw or dead leaves to reach a height of approximately 4in.

 

Step 2:

Add nitrogen rich components such as manure, fresh grass clippings, or spoiled vegetables on top of Compostaboard.

 

Step 3:

Add approximately a 2 in. layer of soil on top of compost.  

 

Step 4:

Repeat this process until all Compostaboard waste is used in the compost.

 

Storage:

It is imperative that the compost pile remain around the moistness of a sponge. Add water depending on the feel of the compost to reach the desired moisture content.

Turn the compost about every 5-7 days to speed up the composting process.  In approximately 6-8 months you will have compost that is ready to enrich your garden!
