Procedure of composting:
I. Cut the brown and green waste into small pieces.
II. At the bottom of the composter place randomly thick branches (promoting aeration and preventing compaction);
III. Add a layer of 5 to 10 cm of brown;
IV. Add at most a handful of soil or compost ready; contain microorganisms that quantity sufficient to start the process of composting (the waste themselves also add that contain microorganisms), it should be noted that large amounts of land added reduce the volume of useful and composter compress the material, which is undesirable;
V. Add a layer of green;
VI. Cover with another layer of brown;
VII. Regue each layer in order to maintain an adequate moisture content. This content can be measured through the test of sponge ", ie whether to squeeze a small amount of material of the stack, get the hands wet but not dripping, moisture is adequate.
VIII. Repeat this process until you get about 1 m high. The layers can be added all at once or as the material will become available.
IX. The last layer should always be to add the brown, to reduce the problems of odour and the spread of insects and other pests. The leaves and grass cutting of waste accumulate in a very small space of time and in large quantities.
If you have big quantities of leaves that do not fit in the composter:
• Bury some in the soil;
• Use them as a cover around the foot of the trees and plants;
• Make a pile in the corner of the garden, the leaves will degenerate rapidly;
• Keep them in plastic bags, store in a dry place and accessible to the composter that adds to their needs.

For the waste of cutting grass:
• Place composter in small quantities at a time and add brown materials (waste cutting of grass tends to acquire a pasty structure and create odours);
• Leave this waste exposed to the sun to dry; it will become carbon-rich material (brown materials), which can be mixed to the same green waste.
