Two years ago I started composting the cut grass from the lawnmower and occasionally some thin twigs and leaves. “Composting” as in dining it all in a cheap plastic compost container without any bottom.

In my head worms and other things would find their way there and start munching away.

In reality the end result was dry cut grass cakes and twigs. So this spring we got rid of the contents.

So … What beginners guide to easy composting do you recommend.

I would like to start easy and in a distant future, if all goes well now, I might get an isolated container for leftover food and scrap. But that seems very distant right now.

    So composting doesnt need worms necessarily. Most decomposers are microscopic. You will get a thousand different answers on what to do but for starters, what is your living situation? Apartment? House? Do you have a yard? Does it rain frequently where you are?

      My bad.

      I have a house and the compost was in a corner of the garden. I live in Stockholm, Sweden. It rains.

        No worries! I should have clued in from the lawn clippings! I wrote a more detailed response.
