Closing the Loop

In India, over 60% of our daily waste is wet organic waste. Instead of sending it to landfills, you can easily compost it at home.

The Two-Bin Method

Use two aerated terracotta or plastic bins (with holes). Add your kitchen scraps (greens) and top it with dry leaves or cocopeat (browns). The ratio should be roughly 1 part green to 2 parts brown.

Why Does it Smell?

Compost only smells if it turns anaerobic (lacks oxygen) or if there is too much moisture. Stir the pile every 3 days and ensure you add enough dry browns to absorb the excess liquid.

In 45 to 60 days, you will have nutrient-rich compost ready for your balcony garden!
