www.crazyaboutcompost.com Composting at home is really easy. This is my quick instructional video on how to get your compost pile started at home with no hassles. It's fun, easy, and pretty darn rewarding if you ask me! Since I live in the city, using a compost tumbler is the best choice for me.

A: Either add a fresh green source or if too dry add water. Q: This pile stinks! A: Add more browns and aerate.
