Composting Basics

What to compost, layering, moisture, and turning techniques for rich, ready-to-use compost.

Moisture & Mulch

Keep soil consistently damp, not soggy. Use tropical mulch to regulate temperature and reduce water evaporation.

  • Mulch with shredded leaves or coconut husk.
  • Water in early morning or late afternoon.

Soil Health

Use compost to enrich soils. Simple tests: pinch of soil should crumble, aroma earthy.

  • Mix compost 1:3 with potting mix.
  • Rotate crops to prevent exhaustion.
