Trench composting

trench composting

Trench composting involves digging a trench in your garden and filling it with organic waste. You can then cover the trench with soil and allow the waste to decompose naturally. This method is great for those who want to create compost in their garden without the need for a dedicated composting container.

What you can compost with this method

Trench composting is best for garden waste like leaves, grass clippings, small twigs, and vegetable scraps. You can also add fruit scraps and coffee grounds, but avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods.
