Any members wishing to share composting tips? Here in Camarines Norte the rubbish collection got so hard to co-ordinate that they just cancelled it, so no rubbish collection at all. full stop period

You need a mixture of vegetable matter ,stuff like grass etc but it has to be mixed in with other media try rice husks

Good compost needs air in the uk i used wooden pallets and placed grass cuttings ,tea bags ,egg shells any old veg matter and paper but not too much 

Try to get some worms ,striped worms called tiger worm ,these will eat the veggy matter and convert it to worm poo and pee , now dont laugh but thats one of the best fertiliserd that you can get

There is a factory being built in our barangy to produce organic fertiliser using worms

Interesting to find out what species of worm they use ? We used to call the species rambling worms and regularly went to the piggery to get them for fishing , they were in abundance there

There is a dry compost starter called Garotta, used it the middle east, and the UK, kicks the process off quickly, not sure if available here
