Composting 101 for Home Gardens - GreenCircle
Composting is one of the most powerful ways to reduce waste, enrich your garden, and give back to the earth — all from your own home. At GreenCircle, we believe composting is more than a gardening technique; it’s a small everyday act that creates meaningful environmental impact.
Compost begins with simple kitchen scraps: fruit peels, coffee grounds, vegetable ends, eggshells, and garden trimmings. These organic materials naturally break down into nutrient-rich humus, often called “garden gold,” because it improves soil health, boosts plant growth, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
To start, choose a composting bin or create a small outdoor pile. Layer “greens” (wet materials like food scraps) and “browns” (dry materials like leaves, cardboard, or wood shavings) to maintain a healthy balance. Keep the pile slightly moist and turn it occasionally to provide oxygen — nature will handle the rest.
The beauty of composting lies in its simplicity. It turns waste into life. Instead of throwing away organic material, you transform it into something that nourishes your garden and reduces your carbon footprint.
At GreenCircle, we support every step of your composting journey with biodegradable bags, compost-friendly bins, and organic soil blends enriched with natural microbes. Together, we can build gardens that grow in harmony with the planet.
