You can compost kitchen waste (peelings, fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, etc.), garden waste (dead leaves, grass clippings, small branches, etc.) and even some household waste (paper towels, unprinted cardboard, etc.).
The time it takes to make compost varies according to several factors, such as the type of composter, temperature and humidity. In general, it takes between 3 and 6 months to obtain mature compost.
Ready compost is dark, crumbly and smells of fresh earth. It should no longer be possible to recognize the original waste. You can also check the temperature: mature compost is at room temperature.
