To make composting faster, you need to keep a balance between green materials, brown materials, air, and water. Green materials have a higher percentage of nitrogen and tend to be fresh and soft. The brown materials usually have a high carbon content and these usually include dried grass, leaves, wood chippings, and straw.
Fastening composting process
Ensure that you chop the materials into small pieces which have a high surface area and can easily be broken down.
Add a natural kick starter and the manure of herbivorous animals have good quantities of microorganisms to kickstart the decomposition process.

Ensure that the compost pit is not too high and regularly turn the compost pit to provide oxygen for the microorganisms to do the decomposition.
Always keep your compost heap covered.
Making compost heap
To make a compost heap ensure that it has direct contact with the ground to allow easy access of microorganisms from the ground into the peat.
You can make the compost using a compost bin or you can you can use other materials like wood to make a compost pit.
Start by filling the pit with brown material, then add the greens. Add an inoculant and then repeat the above sequence until all the materials are done.
