Passive Composting
Passive Composting: "Making Compost With Passive Approach
Making compost using the passive method is very simple. Anything that is organic from the kitchen or the yard is fair game. We are talking about weeds pulled from the garden, grass clippings if you don’t leave them on the lawn, leaves falling in autumn, and kitchen garbage (no meat products). The exception might be unshredded sticks and branches which take years to decompose and make working with the material in the pile very difficult. Although many books and articles describe precise formulas and ratios of materials for a compost pile, they are unnecessarily complicated. All that is really necessary is a supply of organic yard waste and a place to deposit it. Use a bin or a wire cage, or just dump the material in an open pile."
