What is good practice for home compost? 

Our paper-based capsules are designed to compost along with your food and garden waste.

For good home composting, it’s important to use a mixture of garden and kitchen waste. However, not all biodegradable material is equally good for composting. Onion skins, citrus peel, eggshells, and stale bread should only be added in small amounts. Never put meat or fish scraps, or dairy, fat and oil, or dog and cat waste in your compost bin.

Compost needs air and moisture. Before adding materials to your compost bin, make sure the open holes are obstructed. This helps ventilation and drainage. You may even set up netting around the base to prevent pests and vermin.
At least three times a year, allow air to flow through the heap by manual rotation or aeration. Just cover your bin to keep the rain out. To assist the compost process, you can occasionally mix the outside ingredients to the inside of the heap.
After around six months, check your mixture. If it’s turned brown and crumbly and started smelling sweet, your nutritionally-rich material for your plants is ready. Remember that composting results vary depending on the climate, and will take longer in colder weather.
