Setting up the Compost Pile
A compost pile is more than just raking up some leaves. A good mix is to have equal parts of green and brown materials plus enough water to keep it all moist. Use any plant material and leaves in your compost pile as long as they are not diseased. Branches should be ground in a chipper/shredder before putting them into the compost pile. The smaller the pieces the quicker decomposition takes place. Adding some soil to the compost pile as you build it will add micro organisms that will help with the decomposition.
