Pick a spot in the yard that is out of the way.
Start piling up grass clippings, leaves, old hay, manure, pulled weeds.
Turn the pile over with a garden fork every 3 weeks.
You will have nice compost in no time. you can also add any organic waste from home such as onion peel, potatoes, fruit and vegtable skin and pips but make sure you cover them up in dry stuff like sawdust or grass clippings to avoid the smell, i recomend turning the pile over once a week if you can. it helps reduce the build up of bad smells. make sure the pile is always moist but not dripping wet, an easy way is to connect it to your gardens irrigation.zaf.
