What do I do now?

Collect your fruit and vegetable scraps in your 'kitchen bin' and every couple of days empty it into your compost bin. You might find it useful to line your kitchen bin with a bit of newspaper to absorb moisture.

Then just keep adding a mixture of greens (sappy materials e.g. vegetable peelings, grass clippings) and browns (fibrous materials e.g. twigs, card) to your compost bin and it should start composting. Composting takes very little effort, all you need to do is add to your bin regularly and give it a stir occasionally to add some air. If it gets too dry, add more greens or sprinkle with water and if it gets too wet add more scrunched-up paper and give it a stir.
